index.html is the default file that is redirected to, if a browser
requests something which is really a directory ('/' is requested in your
case, which translates to /srv/www/htdocs in the filesystem).
A directory cannot be served by HTTP.
If you expected to see a directory listing: this is something which can
be created on the fly by mod_autoindex, an apache module which is loaded
by default but is not configured for '/' by default. You have to add
"Indexes" to the "Options" for the desired directory, virtual host
context, or where you want it.

As another poster already pointed out, the shortcut link icon is
routinely requested by some browsers, even if it may not be present.
