Rewriting with lighttpd - how to remove file extensions

Question

I would like to use lighttpd\'s mod_rewrite to allow requests without a specific file extension. For instance, I would like the following mappings to automatically work:

Answer 1

yes

^(.*).php $1 [L,R,NC,QSA]

that would be for .htaccess in a directory

^/(.*).php http://same.site/$1 [L,R,NC,QSA]

where your domain is 'same.site' because it needs to redirect for the URL to change (as opposed to proxy)
