    how would you do this (preferably using .htaccess)

    How would you set a directory so that a call to

    somedomain.com/somedirectory/index.html
    would load the index.html but a call to

    somedomain.com/somedirectory/
    could be redirected because they didn't include the index.html

    Can this be done?

      are you wanting to stop showing a directory listing?
      in .htaccess you just place
      Options -Indexes

      if that's the case, if not look @ mod_rew\rite, I'm not sure I understand the question, so can't tell much more than that.

          No I don't want them to see the directory I want to be able to redirect them to another url.

          Problem is that if you don't request a file name in the URL it looks for an index file , if it finds one it doesn't generate a 303 or 404 error.

          Just wondering if there's a way round it.

                              dayum that page would take me a week to digest

                              maybe there's a way to use .htaccess to tell the server NOT to look for an index page and therefore generate a 404 error when an open directory is called?

                                  in your httpd.conf you set
                                  DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.cgi index.pl default.htm default.html
                                  apache loads whichever finds first in the order you have
                                  so you need to remove index.html from DirectoryIndex, this directive also works from htaccess file, after you remove index.html, set ErrorDocumen</b>t 404 /404.html or index
                                  in your htaccess
