[Zope] Naming files with a dot

[Kevin Dangoor]

Hi,

    The default view for an object is called "index_html". So, if you go to
"yoursite.com/Folder", Zope will serve up "Folder/index_html". If you name
it "index.html", Zope won't find it. Other than that, "." is not legal in
python expressions, so you may find yourself having to use "_['index.html']"
sometimes if you are trying to call it from other objects.

    Beyond those two things, there is no real problem. I've used
"index.html" or "foo.gif" in a number of cases myself...

Kevin
