Web Connection creates default.htm in a new site and the demo, but those are just placeholders so you have something to start from. They are not required nor do they do anything other than link a few basic resources in the new project.

Yep, it's a static file (i.e. .html isn't scriptmapped). The initial version contained just a redirection to my scriptmapped home page, with a different extension. Then I edited index.html to contain a clickable link, not a redirection, just to see the difference - and it failed to load; it still keeps redirecting. The original redirecting one is welded somewhere. Doesn't hurt me at all, I'm just curious why would it do that.
