485301 - Website: Default URL shouldn't be "index.html"

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Mozilla Labs Graveyard :: Personas Plus, defect, P2)

Description

The default URL for getpersonas.com is http://www.getpersonas.com/store/index.html

Is there a reason this has "index.html"? The site works fine without it and if it's removed, I can view the page just fine and it doesn't re-appear. It also makes the URL longer and that just seems silly to me from a linkability standpoint.

There's a rewrite rule in the config :

RewriteRule   ^/$  /store/index.html

changing it to 

RewriteRule   ^/$  /store/

should have no impact on the site and will address this. Reassigning to Jeremy.

Verified FIXED:

There's still a 302 to /store, but that's a separate bug, bug 485308.
