.htaccess config for accessing files without extentions

Question

In apache server, I want to access the files without extention.
For eg:
Client Request URL is:
http://myserver/filename.html
Server Response would be:
404-Not Found
Client Request is:
http://myserver/filename
Server Response would be:
200-display file

I have a .htaccess config:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html

But problem with this configuration is that, it doesn't return 404-error-code when, client requests file with a extention.

Thanks... I hope, I'll get helped soon possible.

I get 404 on requesting both of following URL in the browser after appending the script you gave, in the above script I have.

RequestURL: http://mylocalsite/myfile
Response-Code: 404

RequestURL: http://mylocalsite/myfile.html
Response-Code: 404

Answer 4

Is the same HTTP Response being served back for both Request URL variations?

Answer 9

I'm thinking that adding something along the lines of the following to your existing .htaccess might work. I don't have a server set up right now to test though.

RedirectMatch 404 ^(.*).html
