Magento 2 - remove .html from URL by using .htaccess

Question

We have some wrong URLs in our store ending with .html. If the user opens such a URL, then the .html should get removed, otherwise the site cant get found.

So I added this rule to my .htaccess file in pub/.htaccess, i also tried the normal .htaccess in the magento root.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

...

############################################
## Remove .html from end of URL

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
    RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ /$1 [L,R=302]

</IfModule>

But if I enter a URL with .html at the end, then it is still not getting removed.

I want to make it work by using the .htaccess, otherwise I will have to create plenty of URL rewrites by hand.

Hi I understand actually you want to redirect .html page to without.html page

You can add following code in .htaccess : for example :

Redirect /specific-page.html /specific-page
