Subject: apache browsing files

Hi list,

An easy and idiot bug in security sites using apache is to put the logs
into the homedir.
For example, i search in google for common strings in apache, like:
[notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
"GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 103
SSL handshake interrupted by system

In many sites google find files: access_log, error_log, ssl_engine_log,
ssl_error_log showing the structure of the site. If the administrator does
not worry of put a .htaccess or index.html reducing the access via browser
anyone could find cool information on it.

Is there a way for apache only browse files *.html or *.php not all files
type in the browser adress?
