Topic awaiting preservation: "invisible" redirection (Page 1 of 1)

Is there a way to make a redirection via a .htaccess that will leave the URL as is in the address bar of the browser ? In fact I wanna redirect the requests of XML feeds to a PHP script that will check their validity and update them if needed, but keep the whole thing invisible to the end user. I've tried to use a RewriteRule ( see below ) so far, but it changes the URL in the address bar.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*\.xml)$ /updateXmlFeed.php?$1

In the end, I could use a set of FilesMatch + ForceType directives, but I'd have to turn my PHP script into a sort of "fake" folder and use the REQUEST_URI. And I wish to avoid that as much as possible.

I'm almost sure that's one those stupid things you regret to ask once you know but any help is welcome. I've tried to look in the documentation & FAQ of Apache, the FAQ of the Asylum, Google ... in vain. I probably don't know how to call what I'm looking for

Tyberius Prime: Thank you very much.

1. I made a chocolate cake yesterday, do you want a piece instead of a cookie ?

2. Indeed, I had read the infos of [L] directive but hadn't understood it that way. But in fact it was certainly due to the fact that I made my RewriteRule point to an absolute URL ( http://127.0.0.1/ ... ) during a test

I was sure it was stupid.
