The changes need to be made on the server side. This is not directly to the application.

When contacting your host ask them about the use of .htacess for hiding page extensions.
i can see what happens but i can't configure a server to obtain the desired result.
As before this is related to your host and they should advise you on how to implement or if they are worth there salt implement it for you.
Note: Reading from previous posts from yourself by doing this it wont give you any real advantage over your competition it mainly a cosmetic purpose to the url.
