[users@httpd] URI file extensions / suffixes
Hi,
Firstly I would like to apologise for sending what is probably
considered a remedial question, however I have some web admins that are
demanding resolution immediately, have looked around the web and as yet
have not found a resolution.
I'm running apache 1.3.23 in a Solaris 10 environment. The problem I am
having is enforcing the use of extensions / suffixes in a given URL
which is causing problems with search indexing carried out by a google
appliance.
I need to know how to force apache to require the filename extension eg.
when the URL is in the format http://someaddress/foo I would rather a
page not found than the return of foo.html. At first I thought this
would be associated with mime.types however when I disable mime.types
and MimeMagic I still have not joy. Other than that the only resolution
I have found on the web seems to be associated with rewrites but surely
there is an easier way.
Thanks in advance for any clues on this one

Remove "Multiviews" from all your Options directives in httpd.conf.
By the way, 1.3.23 is ancient. You likely have security problems, among
others.
