A simple htaccess redirect

I think I'm close, but for some reason, it's a Monday.

RewriteRule ^(.*)/rss.\xml/$ $1/rss [L]

It sounds like you have the XML files, and you want to make URIs without the XML extension work.

# translate /rss to /rss.xml
RewriteRule ^rss$ /rss.xml 

# translate /anydirectory/rss to /anydirectory/rss.xml
RewriteRule ^(.+)/rss$ /$1/rss.xml

The code you tried suggests the opposite.

# translate /rss.xml to /rss
RewriteRule ^rss\.xml$ /rss 

# translate /anydirectory/rss to /anydirectory/rss.xml
RewriteRule ^(.+)/rss\.xml$ /$1/rss

I think this is what you want (you have them reversed):

RewriteRule ^(.+/)?rss$ $1rss.xml [L]

This is a guess, but it looks like you intended to escape the . and that is done with \. instead of .\

RewriteRule ^(.*)/rss\.xml$ $1/rss [L]
