I recently moved from an old Apache 1.x server that i had no control over, to a new Apache 2.x server.
One strange thing changed:
We have some links that point to a page, foo.html.
But rather than have the href point to foo.html , the link points to "foo" and worked in the old system. It actually found foo.html, even though the link points to "foo" with no suffix.
(i didn't make these pages, and agree if you think it serves no purpose to do this).
When we switched to Apache 2, these "foo" links stopped working, and get the 404 messages I'd normally expect.
I'm willing to pour over my tree and fixes these links manually, but I'm wondering if anybody could identify the Apache directive or module that addresses this. |

This might do what you want: | Code: | | RedirectMatch permanent ^/([^.]*[^/.])$ /$1.html |
Put this directive in the <Directory> block for your web root.
Make sure that mod_alias is loaded in your server.
The regular expression looks for URIs like this:a leading slash (/)
followed by zero-or-more characters which are not dot (.)
not ending with slash (/) or dot (.) and replaces the URI with ".html" appended.
This might cause some confusion with subdirectories. For example:/SubDir will be replaced by /SubDir.html
/SubDir/ will go to the SubDir subdirectory
/SubDir/test will be replaced by /SubDir/test.html
Hope this helps.
