By the way .PHP, .ASP, .pl, etc. do return usually HTML, as they are server scripting languages and the browser does not understand any of them.
http://www.yoursite.com/whatever returns the content of a file, if the webserver maps its URL space into a file system (default). If it does some dynamic page serving, it will do what ever is defined.
Only if you write your URL as
http://www.yoursite.com/whatever/ (see the extra "/" at the end?) will your web-server (not Google) return a directory listing. If your webserver is configured that way (most are by default) it will attempt to return an index page (default index.html, etc.) instead of the list of files in the corresponding directory.
For more information read the Documentation of the most
popular web server.
Hope I could be helpful
