It used to.  Klacke changed that during the last rehaul to avoid
having duplicate cache entries for /i/ and /i/index.yaws.  I did not
particularly like that and said so :-)

I changed it back for my site, but did so in a hurry, so I was not
sure if it was correct and did not discuss it further here.

Patch is attached.  Klacke, should I commit?

I think http://carsten.codimi.de/test/ works the way you want it to.
The index.yaws is

<erl>

out(A) -> 
    {ehtml, 
     {pre, [],
      f("~p", [A#arg.querydata])}}.

</erl>

Greetings,

Carsten
