Domain w/ directory & no extension

Question

I have a group of .pdf's in a directory called pdf on my
website. I want my users to be able to access by simply going to
www.mysite.com/pdf without an exact extension (i.e. no .html or
.aspx)
Someone else instructed me to simply create a page in that
folder called index.html and list these pages, which I have done
but when I try to access that page (www.mysite.com/pdf) I get page
not available error.
To avoid the obvious, the page (mysite.com/pdf/index.html) is
loaded on the server and all the pdf's listed on that page can be
accessed by absolute address.
Any Help?! Could it be a server setting?

> Could it be a server setting?
Yes, it could be that the server doesn't use 'index.html' as
a default
filename. Ask your host what their default filename is. Use
that as the
name of the index.html page.
