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
