Description
We are so used to getting index.html served over any other file (if present) when requesting '/'.
What is the reasoning for requiring an explicit request to index.html?
After a couple of years using UI5 Tooling, it only annoys me to have to type out the index file and I have never had any use for the directory index page.
If open to the change, this might be a good one for #506 ☺️
