As I understand it, http://domain.com/sendmail-howto should resolve first to http://domain.com/sendmail-howto/index.<suffix>, where suffix is usually html, or shtml, or php, or whatever.
You are correct in that this does happen in a default install of Apache. (At least in the default RPM install by Red Hat.)
I am not aware of any way to get apache to try to tack a suffix onto the name, only a filename onto the path.
It certainly exists:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/content-negotiation.html
I'm just trying to figure out how to make it work now. :-) Rather than creating a .var file for _every_ resource I want to have mapped, I would much rather have Apache know always to serve up PHP preferably, HTML if PHP is not available, and TXT files as a last resort. How to do that in the configuration directives for my server (or just my virtualhost) is what I have not figured out yet.
