I want to redirect all requests like

if the URL is a .gif, .jpg etc.
So I've got the following RedirectMatch:
RedirectMatch permanent ^/(.[^/(\.gif)(\.jpg)]*)/?
http://www.site.com/$1.html
You need to look again at a regex tutorial. Stuff inside [] is a
character class, not an arbitrary regex. That means it will match any
one of the set of characters included in the class. You need
something more like
RedirectMatch permanent ^/(.*(?!\.(gif|jpg)))/?$ http://www.example.com/$1.html
I haven't tested that, and the negative-lookahead assertion will
certainly only work in httpd 2.x.
Another way to do this that doesn't require as much regex magic is
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(gif|jpg)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/?$ http://www.example.com/$1[R=permanent]

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I was wrong with thinking [^gif] would match only
the whole string. Got that in the meantime. I just tested your proposal but
it does not work =/ It redirects to /file.gif.html, /file.gif.html.html etc.
etc. in an infinite loop. ergo: it matches and redirects.
