how would you do this (preferably using .htaccess) - GoFuckYourself.com

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.

Nope, I just tried it and its still loading the index.html

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
