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.
You tried which proposal? The RewriteRule one can be easily fixed by adding
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$
Joshua.
I tried your RewriteMatch proposal. It could work with a RewriteCond and a
RewriteRule but this wouldnt change the URL in the user's address bar and
that's what I want.
