Remove unnecessary .html suffixes

Description

W3C suggests that site producers shouldn't refer to specific technologies in URLs. Therefore, we should start removing the .html suffixes from URLs in MidCOM.

"cgi", even ".html" is something which will change. You may not be using HTML for that page in 20 years time, but you might want today's links to it to still be valid. The canonical way of making links to the W3C site doesn't use the extension.(how?)

But when removing the suffix DO ADD a trailing slash so that wget (or similar) dumps will still work.

Hint of the day: find .php files that refer to .html, but not the (l)gpl.html -license url 

pcregrep -r -l '(?<!gpl)\.html' *  2>/dev/null | grep -v '\.svn' | grep -e '\.php'

remove the last piped grep to see other than .php files.

And to load them all to editor (vi used as an example) 

vi `pcregrep -r -l '(?<!gpl)\.html' *  2>/dev/null | grep -v '\.svn' | grep -e '\.php'`
