You'll want to make sure you use the trailing slashes "/" to avoid server redirects; the server will add it anytime you leave it off of a "/folder/directory" link to push the user inside the "/folder/directory/" - then it looks for the default index page to serve content.

To split hairs: The server* will issue this redirect (yes, it is a full-blown 301 redirect, whereas "index.whatever" is a rewrite) IF and ONLY IF mod_dir is at the default "DirectorySlash On" setting.


* Apache 2.x if you want to split even more hairs.
