Yes, but my pages (like many folks’) are not served with a ‘.html’ extension, try [https://5e00e2e86a200d0007b165cf--simonhearne.netlify.com/](https://5e00e2e86a200d0007b165cf--simonhearne.netlify.com/) instead of [https://5e00e2e86a200d0007b165cf--simonhearne.netlify.com/index.html](https://5e00e2e86a200d0007b165cf--simonhearne.netlify.com/index.html)

So what I think you are saying is that it is impossible to set different headers for documents served at directory roots.
