   This isn't handled in the browser at all. Apache has a 
   user-overridable function for listing a directory, and its default 
   function for listing a directory happens to look for a sequence of 
   files such as index.html, and if it finds one of these, it returns 
   it; otherwise it generates a directory listing. 

   In the absence of apache, or other http-server software that 
   implements the same behavior, you simply won't get this behavior. 

A browser could certainly emulate the behavior when browsing a local 
directory.
