I want to remove "index.html" from url using .htaccess

Question

converted wordpress site into a static html using httrack. Now I want to remove index.html from my url, but anything I put in .htaccess doesn't work correctly.

example: (this is on my test server) I want to change page structure url from this: http: popartcode.space/megalsistemi.com2/o-nama/index.html to this: http: popartcode.space/megalsistemi.com2/o-nama/

This is what I tried, it messed up half of my links:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index\.html$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

Another try:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \/index\.(php|html)\ HTTP [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)index\.(php|html)$ /$1 [R=301,L]

This changed my link from this:

http: popartcode.space/megalsistemi.com2/o-nama/index.html to this:

http: popartcode.space/o-nama/

which is not since, since i only need "index.html" removed.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

You can use this rule:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s(.*)/index\.(php|html)\ HTTP [NC]
RewriteRule (^|/)index\.(php|html)$ /%1 [NC,R=301,L]

I'm probably wrong, but doesn't (.*) make [A-Z]{3,}\s unnecessary?

(.*) must be part of URI before index.php, we don't want to capture GET in %1
