I don't think this will do, cause this way we will not be able to get the 
directory listing (like in 'war:/my_warfile.war/') if one of the index files 
exist in the mhtml file

Same thing here.

What could be done is that konqueror always requests '/index.html' and 
kio_mhtml returns 'index.html', 'index.xhtml' or '/' depending on what exists 
in the mhtml file.

But then konqueror should update its location bar, and I do not know if this 
can be done in a generic way....


Another solution would be to use a scheme like the one in 
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kfm-devel&m=109982140416184&w=2 with some changes:

[Property::X-KDE-LocalProtocol]
Type=QString
Value=mhtml

[Property::X-KDE-LocalFile]
Type=QStringList
Value=index.html,index.xhtml,/

[Property::X-KDE-LocalServiceType]
Type=QStringList
Value=text/html,application/xhtml+xml,inode/directory

With this scheme konqueror would ask for index.html (with serviceType 
text/html) and if it gets a valid answer it would display it. If not it would 
ask for index.xhtml and so on. The fallback solution would be to display the 
directory listing.

The problem is that this asking - answering thing should be trasparent to the 
user (I don' know how it could be done)
