I tried several of those, and they all work without index.html. For
example, these work for me:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/annotate
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/stabs
https://cc-mode.sourceforge.net/html-manual
https://orgmode.org/manual
Some of them also work with a trailing slash, some don't.
So I still don't see why we would need %i.

I'd prefer this latter alternative.
