Topic awaiting preservation: redirect *.html -> *.shtml (Page 1 of 1)

How can i redirect every request in a directory from filename.html to filename.shtml?

Example:
Some users came to my page via google searching "brandenburger tor nacht". But google links to http://thinkdrastic.de/photos/archives/000303.html
(that site doesn't exist anymore)
but http://thinkdrastic.de/photos/archives/000303.shtml exist.

Thanks.

Me thinks .htaccess in the desired folder with the following should work:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_]+).html $1.shtml [L]

How can i use this syntax for one specific directory?

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

u-neek for a specific directory try:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/mydirectory/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+).html /mydirectory/$1.shtml [L]
