How to open an index page into a subdirectory without adding /index.html

Simple question, let's pretend I have the following path:

http://example.com/subdir/index.html

I would like to be able to open that index.html page by typing this in the browser:

www.example.com/subdir

and hit enter to have the browser load its included index.html page.

Is that possible?

My goal is to have a few subdirectories with the same root domain (example.com) and be able to open the index.html pages of each subdirectory without having to add /index.html at the end.

Thanks so much!

For sub folders only put this in main root .htaccess file :

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteRule ^(.*)/index([\.html]*)$ /$1 [R=302,L]

For entire website change it to this :

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteRule ^(.*)index([\.html]*)$ /$1 [R=302,L]

So , any request with index or index.html will be removed .

Note : clear your browser cache then test it , if Ok change 302 to 301 to get permanent redirection

If you server is running Apache, just create an .htaccess file (if you haven't already) and add this line at the top of the file: 

DirectoryIndex index.html
