I believe it is a very common httpd setting.
It is going to loko for something like "index.html"
if there is only a path without a filename,
i.e. it ends in a slash.

---------

# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
# The index.html.var file (a type-map) is used to deliver content-
# negotiated documents.  The MultiViews Option can be used for the
# same purpose, but it is much slower.
#
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var

These is indeed an index.html under
  htdocs/FAQ
