Small follow up.

If there was a reason you really needed to use the extension .HTM(L), then
you have to remove the stock http\errors\notfound.wct.

The reasons is this:

A URL page could not be found, so wcWEB starts to do:

- check for http\errors\notfound.wct
- if found, check for a http\custom\notfound.wct
- if not found, check for http\errors\notfound.htm
- if found, check for a http\custom\notfound.htm
- if not found, use internal not found message.

Thats the sequence.
