This is a simple htaccess question for experts but I have been trying to get this sorted for a while. This was something a developer did before my time with this code. He truncated the image file extension from the requests. As an example,

/images/btn/Find a bear should get the URL changed internally to /images/btn/Find a bear.gif

All the images in the folder are .gif extensions.

I tried this URL rewrite at the root folder but it did not help.

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^images/(.*)$ images/$1.gif

I know that RewriteRule is enabled on the server, etc. Please help.

    You’re probably having an infinite loop. Try this:

    RewriteCond $1 !.*\.gif$
RewriteRule ^images/(.*)$ images/$1.gif
