SSI and form re-direction

I have an old site built with Frontpage which I am changing to straight HTML. The site opens with a "default.htm" page which appears to be standard for Frontpage sites. I want to use SSI includes in the home page.

Question: can I open the site with an SHTM/SHTML suffix instead of an HTM suffix?

Or: can I open the site with Default.htm and use a meta tag redirect to the real DEFAULT.SHTML page.

The site contains an .htaccess file which appears to control the name of the default.htm page. If I leave that in the site the redirect fails with a not found on the DEFAULT.SHTML page. If I remove the .htaccess file the site does not have a default page.

Any suggestions? Confused

change default.htm to default.shtml

add default.shtml to the .htaccess file

Add this to the .htaccess file.

AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html .htm

This will make it so that the SSI calls will work outside of SHTML files.
