Apache mod_rewrite to catch XML requests

Question

How do I create a apache RewriteRule that catches any request URL ending in .xml, strips off the .xml and passes it to a specific script?

http://www.example.com/document.xml, becomes http://www.example.com/document passed to script.php

Answer 1

This should do the trick, I believe.

RewriteRule ^(.+)\.xml$ script.php?path=$1
