Adding an extension to the filname on one controller

[eluser]Mat-Moo[/eluser]
I need to create a routine xxx/feed.txt for another application to read. I've created xxx/feed which is perfect, but how can I get the controller to respond to the .txt request?

You can set up a route to redirect the URL w/ extension to the controller itself. Easy as pie.

Code:

$route['xxx/feed.txt'] = 'xxx/feed';

Thanks, I'll give it a whirl!

I wonder if this can also be achieved through using server redirects (.htaccess)?

[eluser]Aken[/eluser]
Sure it can. I'd prefer doing it with CodeIgniter's routes, though. Then all my URL modifications are in one place in case there's an issue.

Edit: Just saw you said redirects. You don't want to use a redirect in this situation, because it will actually force a page reload to the new URL. If you were to use .htaccess you'd want to set up a ModRewrite rule, not a redirect.
