wanted to know if i can change the validation of the simple address to allow extensions ?

for example name in url can contain aaa.html but the simple address i get an error

"iii.htm" is not a valid value for "Simple address". Only the following characters are allowed when constructing the simple address: a-z, 0-9, -, _, ~, /

any suggestions ?

You can create a custom segment that looks at poperty on page to get around the simple url validation.

Try doing this in initialization module it should prevent the 301

var type = typeof(UrlRewriteProvider);

var field = type.GetProperty("FriendlyUrlExtension");
field.SetValue(null, ".html", null);
