Know a .htaccess mod_rewrite work around for loading xml files?

Question

Here is my current htaccess code:

(turn engine on and such) RewriteRule ^foo.xml$ bar.php [NC]

This code works fanstastic on domain names like foobar.com, etc. It does not work for temporary domains like such:

bar.com/~foo/

Is there a work around for this? Any help greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

The RegEx you are checking with is evaluating if foo.xml is the request, but with folders, the request would be more like ~foo/foo.xml. Add another rule:

RewriteRule ^(.+)/foo.xml$ bar.php [NC]

I didn't check it yet, but something like that should help.

Answer 2

Try this rule:

RewriteRule ^(.+/)?foo\.xml$ $1bar.php
