conf/web.xml is not used in Tomcat 3.2.x.
Try this in server.xml:
<!-- "default" handler - static files and dirs. Set the
"suppress" property to "true" to suppress directory listings
when no welcome file is present.
NOTE: This setting applies to *all* web applications that
are running in this instance of Tomcat.
-->
<RequestInterceptor
className="org.apache.tomcat.request.StaticInterceptor"
debug="0" suppress="true" />
