------- 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
