How to redirect requests to files with .xml extension

On my site I want to block access to my xml files

For example, when the following files are requested

http://example.com/a_File.xml

or 

http://example.com/some_file.xml

I want browser to redirect to a different page http://example.com/different_Page.html.

Here is what I have in .htaccess so far:

SetEnvIf Request_uri "\.xml$" blocked

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{ENV:blocked} ^blocked 
RewriteRule (.*) 404.php [R=301]

It does not stop it, I still can view my xml file.

Use SetEnvIfNoCase Directive to match against Request_URI String in case-insenstive manner :

SetEnvIfNoCase Request_uri "\.xml$" blocked

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{ENV:blocked} 1 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ 404.php [NC,L,R=301]
