This default file name is also served automatically for all subdirectory queries. If the default file does not exist, the request is passed on to the next Responder.

A usage example:

// Default file serving is disabled
app.middleware.use(FileMiddleware(publicDirectory: "public/"))

// Serves `index.html` (if it exists) to a request to `http://server.com/`, as well as any subdirectories
app.middleware.us...
