But if you're using Apache then you can use the mod_negotiation module?
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/content-negotiation.html

Here's what I've whipped up for ASP, it seems to work OK. It takes some 
time to loop through the array on a busy server though... Hmmm, I'll see 
whether I can tweak it up a bit  =)

<%Sub ContentNeg()
   '' take the URL
   ThisURL = Replace(Request.Querystring(), 
"404;http://www.domain-name.org.uk", "")

   FileTypes = Array(".asp", ".pdf", ".gif", ".jpg")

   '' check whether it exists with any extension
          Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
           For i = 0 to UBound(FileTypes)
            If objFSO.FileExists("d:\path\to\public_html" & ThisURL & 
FileTypes(i)) Then
                  Set objFolder = nothing
              Set objFSO = nothing
                  Response.Redirect(ThisURL & FileTypes(i))
        End If
       Next

          Set objFolder = nothing
          Set objFSO = nothing
End Sub%>
