Default Page
When you type the url in the browser's address bar, for
example:
http://mcb2300
the Web server sends the content of index.htm web page.
This is the default page, which is opened, when no filename is
specified in the url. If you enter the complete url
with a filename, for example:
http://mcb2300/ad.htm
then the Web server tries to open this page.
The default page index.htm is a static page. This means the
content of this page is stored on Web server and sent unmodified to
the web client on request. Usually this page contains links to other
static or dynamic pages on the Web server.
Sometimes a dynamic page is preferred as a default web page.
Embedded Web server implicitly supports also this option. When a web
browser requests a default web page, the web server tries to open
index.htm as default web page. If this page does not exist,
Web server in the next step tries to open index.cgi as a
default page. If this page is also not existing, then the Web server
responds with Error 404 - Not Found.
-
If you want to use a dynamic default page, then the file
index.htm must not exist on the Web server.
