As its name indicates, a default file
is the file that a browser will display by default if no page
is named in the web address.
In the address:
http://www.nytimes.com
notice that there is
no file name listed, only the server name. You can determine
if a file name is listed if a three letter extension follows the
name. NOTE: ".com", ".org", and ".edu" are not
file extensions, but rather web server identifiers.
When no file name is listed, the
browser searches for the default file - the name of the default file
can be one of several choices:
default.htm
default.html
default.asp
index.htm
index.html
