mod_rewrite and rss.

OK, This may seem like a screwy way to go about things, but this is the most basic/failproof way I can figure out how to do what I'm trying to do.

I have a podcast I want to update once a week (either, 1st, 7th, 14th 21st) of the month every month.

I am using a rewrite rule to do this.

The .htaccess file works at rewriting the path via http, it just does not seem to work while using the "feed://" protocol.

feed://www.example.com/podcast/feed.xml

Should link to:

feed://www.example.com/podcast/12/7/feed.xml

When I pull up this URL as:

http://www.example.com/podcast/feed.xml it drops me into the 12/7/ directory at the correct feed.xml file.

So I know it's working, it's just NOT working using the feed:// in front.

I'm using both iTunes and Safari for Mac to test. I don't know if it's a safari/itunes problem or if this is just not possible with RSS?

Is mod_rewrite compatible with rss?

Thanks in advance. :)

Rewriting seems to invalidate url.
