    hi all...msn and yahoo seem to have trouble with my 301 redirect for index.html

    In msn all pages except the index show up in a "site:" search

    in yahoo all pages show up as www.example.com/example.html except for the index page with shows as example.com

    here is the 301 I use:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

    Anyone else have this issue?

    Are you trying to re-direct from www.example.com/index.html to www.example.com? Or are you simply trying to add the www. to the index page? If you want to add the www only, try this:
