I think you should to one more rewrite before the other rules and that is
RewriteRule /$ /index\.html
or
RewriteRule ^/$ /index\.html
as you need.

Hi,

I'm using mod_rewrite to send .html files as application/xhtml+xml for agents that say they accept it, and text/html for all others, using mod_rewrite.

At the moment I simply have a .htaccess file with

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}     \.html$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT}          application/xhtml\+xml
RewriteRule .* - [T=application/xhtml+xml]

This works fine on, for example, http://chrisseaton.skylis.net/index.html, but it does not work on, for example, http://chrisseaton.skylis.net/. mod_rewrite doesn't seem to be applied when serving a default file for a directory.

I tested this by modifying my .htaccess to read

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* - [T=application/xhtml+xml]

With this every file should be served as application/xhtml+xml, and they all were, apart from the default file for the directory - which still went out as the .html default of text/html.

I'm using Mozilla HTTP live headers to check the MIME type returned by the server.

Can anyone help? Thanks a lot.
