Actually this is intented, you should not access the .html file but directly the / and /about pages.

Anyway, it's confusing. Static hosts may not have such redirect rules. For example, GitHub Pages serves both "/" and "/index.html" pages.

I suggest adding a default redirect rule for this.

Wondering if this should be handled directly by vue-router though? 🤔

Also, what about the canonical?

Canonical links? See https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/consolidate-duplicate-urls#rel-canonical-link-method

I know, what I mean is that your server will have duplicate pages: / and /index.html which is not the best.

Does miniserver have an option to redirect without the index.html ?

I know, what I mean is that your server will have duplicate pages: / and /index.html which is not the best.

What I expect:

Path	Exists	Display
/	yes	correct
/index.html	yes	redirect to "/"

Of course, I can work around by manually adding rules to my server, which is ideal.

Path	Exists	Display
/	yes	correct
/index.html	no

However, it's not easy when deploying to third-party static hosts like GitHub Pages. Current behavior:

Path	Exists	Display
/	yes	correct
/index.html	yes	confusing error

Do you have a demo on GH pages so I can check @Nugine ?

Any updates on this ?

It prevents me from migrating an old static site to nuxt content based project, as I cannot access /index.html anymore after added @nuxt/content into the nuxt project.
