ipad asks do you want to download index .html

Seems some people trying to help are missing the point. Those seeing this issue, like me, know that it just started to happen after a period when there were no changes to their iPad, and certainly it’s not possible that multiple sites updated their source to be broken for non-desktop browsers.

So, putting the burden onto users to “fix” the problem by flipping modes of the iPad browser is wrong, not the user experience Apple should be going for. You might as well tell people to fix the problem by going to their laptop to view certain sites, or just buy an Android tablet...

And, for heaven’s sake, the browser is asking for the one, standard since forever, file present at the root of every site! No, something is wrong with the browser.
