If an attacker guesses the path a -Indexes directive won’t stop him from
requesting the directory from the server. It should return a 403 if there’s no
index.html, but perhaps there are servers out there that fail, or perhaps the
web design folks think that a blank page is better than a 403.

Interesting. I’ll investigate. I’ve never had an issue that I’m aware of. If
the server won’t even let you get there due to the directive...?

Sure. I defer to you. I was merely trying to anticipate that removal of
“index.html” in the guide would cause some disruption.

Hello,
As I am toiling through the depths of the documentation generation process, I
am struck by the fact that the base page of the Help is “help.html”, while the
base page for the guide is “index.html”.
For consistency, I suggest naming the guide base page “guide.html”; moreover, I
suggest
