[users@httpd] How to show a html file without providing the .html extension in the URL?

[Dinesh Kumar <pd...@elitmus.com>]

Hi all,

I need to display html pages without providing the .html extension in the
URL?

To illustrate:  I have a file <DocumentRoot>/readme.html.

I want to access it as http://192.168.0.100/readme

I have gone through the documentation for most of the modules, and
configuration documentation on the Apache site but failed to locate anything
that might help.  I have worked around this as of now, by using mime_magic
module and creating soft links without the .html extension to the .html
files.   But I want to reduce the manual intervention.

Thanks,
Dinesh.

This may be browser dependent, but with Internet Explorer you don't need an
extension to tell it what the file is. Just drop the .html extension from the
file. A properly formatted HTML file will identify itself when the browser opens
the file. I don't have any other browsers installed to test it, but I bet it
will work with other browsers, as well. Can't hurt to try it.
