These sorting directives are specific to Apache when it builds a replacement "index.html" file for server's file system directories containing no default page (assuming neither such building nor the directives are disabled). They have always the form of "?<capital>=<capital>" appended to the base URL of a directory. See e.g. "http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/"; and its subdirectories for how it looks like. > I think what Jamie wants is one copy of index.html no matter how many links > of the form index.html?N=D appear. So do I and my shell pattern will work as expected. -- + Maciej W.
