Handling URL mis-spellings

I have a page at

http://www.yankgulchmusic.com/products.html

which works fine. Now I'd like to send users to that same page if they type

http://www.yankgulchmusic.com/Products

Using TelNet I've created soft links to send users from one directory to another, but always with names that include the .html extension. For example, while in my home directory I did:

ln -s ./DETAILSFILES/UnsungSongsDetails.html ./UnsungSongsDetails.html

This permits users who type

http://www.yankgulchmusic.com/UnsungSongsDetails.html

to be directed to the page at

http://www.yankgulchmusic.com/DETAIL...gsDetails.html

This doesn't work without the .html extension. Following a suggestion from the FutureQuest desk I created a directory out of the URL name without the extension and went on from there to get at least a partially OK result.

Is there some other way to accomplish what I want to do without using soft links?
