Main page index,

[Ruku]

Hello there people, I'm programming a web leecher in Vb.net, but I just need to know something to complete my program:

What are all the possibilities for main pages index?

For instance, "index.html", "index.htm", "home.html" "home.htm", etc?

You can also have other extensions such as .php .asp etc etc

Anything you like as long as the web server knows about it! In IIS you can add to the list of default documents and choose their priority over each other.

I don't know the code for this, but isn't is possible to query a web server and return the name of the default page being served?

Don't know, but I sure would like to know!

And I know what your sayin' BIOSTALL, that's why I need some kind of dtb to help me enumerate all possibilities if I can't find anything that mendhak is referring to...

I once did a web browser using the ol' vb6 control, but I NEVER found how to get the adress of a new page browsing when the webpage is being redirected (without user interaction). Having an insivisble web browser would be an alternative, but I can't manage to control the damn redirection adresses, so....


HEEEELP!

index.[html, php, cgi, asp, pl, htm, jsp, {exc...}]
default.[html, php, cgi, asp, pl, htm, jsp, {exc...}]
{and}
main.[html, php, cgi, asp, pl, htm, jsp, {exc...}]
