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
