How much control do you have over this Web site?  If they have .asp and 
you have control over the site then IIS let's you specify the main page 
it will provide to queries and that main page doesn't have to be 
index.html.  On the Web site I inherited it had a list of possibilities 
(first file found "wins" apparently).  I don't remember what all of them 
were but index.html and ***default.asp*** existed.  Again, don't have 
the details at home but default.asp "won" (it may have been higher in 
the list than index.html) and the results of that script was what was 
delivered.  I discovered this the hard way when I went to change 
index.html to index.shtml.
