- What's in a filename?
- If no filename specified in URL, server sends default file.
- Default file names are set in server, and are generally either index.xxx, where xxx is the file type (.html)
- Thus, http://www.mysite.com actually returns http://www.mysite.com/index.html
- So, name your 'home' page index.html
- The rest of the pages can have various file names...
- What's NOT in a filename
- Certain characters are restricted
- ; / # ? & = : @ have special meanings
- For example, %20 = space
- Don't use spaces or characters in filenames other than letters, numbers, _ and -, and you will be safe
