HTML files are HTML files, no matter what file extension they have (if they
have one at all). A .html file extension is normal. A .htm file extension
is typically legacy from DOS and Windows machines predating the mid-90s
(which used filesystems which only supported three character file
extensions). Over HTTP there are no file extensions, only URLs which might
happen to have the characters ".html" in them as they might map directly
onto a filesystem.
