Some thoughts (for the reporter):

1) I assume you are using konqueror in webbrowsing mode, but on local files, i.e. \
file:/home/nt/public_html/ .  Then I do not have the problem (konq 3.1.4) Perhaps a config thing.
If you are using the files through a webserver, the substitution of index.html for a request for the \
containing directory is natural behaviour, of the server rather than konqueror.

2) sites like this are a great nuisance.
i) try changing browser identification (Tools->Browser Identification) to something the site likes.  \
Possibly go into the site again to "fool" it ii) try mozilla, which sometimes they like better
iii) preferably, email and boycott the site if they are so stupid as to have non-standard web material
I haven't had such a problem with ebay.uk, when I used it 4 months ago.

3) the desired feature is like having wget (or kget?) within konqueror. This sounds a good place for it \
to be.  It would certainly beat that m$-IE thing you mention, which rewrites the html, puts in its own \
ideas of how it should look (carriage returns etc.), at leat in some old version I once had to use.   If \
you want to do this now, use     wget -p http://address-of-page An alternative, much superior, way for \
your purpose of keeping records, is to use kdeprint's ability to print a webpage to a pdf or ps file.  \
Then it is all in one file.

4) good idea
