The content of

I little while ago I saw a website with the HTML code:

<link rel="File-List" href="index_files/filelist.xml">

The content of the file is:

<xml xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
<o:MainFile HRef="../index.htm"/>
<o:File HRef="image001.gif"/>
<o:File HRef="image002.gif"/>
<o:File HRef="filelist.xml"/>
</xml>

I know what a XML file is. But why put a list on your site with all the files in it?

: Can .htaccess 301 redirects work with encoded characters? I have an old site with titles in the URL for SEO, but it has URL encoded characters than transliterated Latin characters. Like %20

That HTML document was created by Microsoft Office which puts that meta tag in automatically. Microsoft office documents contain reference to other files. When office converts the file to HTML it includes that list in this format.

Google reports that it runs into it occasionally when crawling the web. As far as I know, only Microsoft Office itself makes use of this list. It isn't important for users of the website, browsers, crawlers, or search engines.
