Apache - disabling automatic rewrite

I'm just beginning to test my usage of mod_rewrite on a local apache setup.

While rewrite rules are working fine, my problem is that a page like "localhost/foo/" is automatically redirected to "localhost/foo.php". This happens even with no rewrite rules. Is this normal? I assume not, since this does not happen on my hosted domain. How can I disable this?

Figured out what the problem was - documenting it as an answer for future searchers [is this the correct procedure?]

I had to disable MultiViews - it was redirecting localhost/foo to localhost/foo.php if it could find that file. Everything worked just fine once that was done.

Some sort of rewrite is going on. You could rename the actual module on disk to make sure its not used. In Linux it is /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so
