[REBOL] Re: Accessing Internet from Rebol/View's Desktop

it will always add it.
the desktop needs that file to know what files the site wishes to expose to the rebol
desktop.
in other words, the rebol desktop isn't a "web browser". in rebol speak, I guess we'd
call it a "reb browser". Although it uses standard web technology to access the files.
Web servers only rarely allow a listing of any site's content.
Having the index.r file in that folder, then allows the rebol desktop to know what files
are (or should be) available (or allowed access) and what types they are and when was
the last time they where changed. You can even specify visual information on how the
rebol desktop should look, including background effects and icon images.
HTH!

You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution, but in the end, being
part of the problem is much more fun.
