TYPO3: only have .html at the end of each URL

Question

I'm using RealURL and the website can be reached by

www.domain.com/sitemap.html and www.domain.com/sitemap

Now the website should be only reachable by

www.domain.com/sitemap.html

How can this be done?

I found the config 'defaultToHTMLsuffixOnPrev' => '.html' , but I don't know if this is the right option. Also there are some possibilities with .htaccess , but this should be only valid for sites (not pictures, pdfs ...). What is the right way doing this?

Answer 1

Use the extension Force RealURLs , it forces the access to pages to be made only by the configured URL-scheme in RealURL. Extension Forcerealurls . Tested & certified by me :).

Also, make sure to use canonical URLs in your HEAD section. German Tutorial . Use Canonical if you don't like to fiddle around with TypoScript.

There is an extension that promises to solve both issues, but I haven't tested it yet: Extension Stop Duplicate Content
