How to show a html file without providing the .html extension in the URL?

["Dinesh Kumar" <pdineshk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I need to display html pages without providing the .html extension in the URL?  

To illustrate:  I have a file <DocumentRoot>/readme.html. 

I want to access it as 
http://192.168.0.100/readme

I have gone through the documentation for most of the modules, and configuration documentation on the Apache site but failed to locate anything that might help.  I have worked around this as of now, by using mime_magic module and creating soft links without the .html extension to the .html files.   But I want to reduce the manual intervention.

Thanks,
Dinesh.
