RSS Feed and Browsers

Hello,

I offer RSS feeds on my web site.
How to make browsers, like Firefox, to recognize the RSS channels I
offer?

Thanks,
Miguel

Internet Explorer 7 should recognize RSS feeds "Out of the box" and offer you
to subscribe, displaying the contents via its own internal XSL Stylesheet.
For Firefox and other browsers, consider the "rel" link which looks like so
in your page markup:

<link rel="alternate" type="applicati on/rss+xml" title="eggheadc afe.com
Main Feed" href="/rss.xml">

Every standard browser uses this...

<link rel="alternate" type="applicati on/rss+xml"
href="http://tempuri.org" title="My Blog" />

That will notify the browser there's an RSS resource related to that
page. Intranet Explorer 6 won't get near that though.

The use of linked XML file(s) for RSS WebFeeds is called "auto discovery"
for those that want to learn more about this topic.

Apparently all that is necessary for an RSS feed reader to auto-discover an RSS feed associated with a page received and rendered by the browser is to include the following on the page : <head runat="server"> <title>Untitled Page</title> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Feed Test" href="http://localhost/rss/rssfeedtest.rss" /> </head>

Total newbie here for this so please be patient. We manually update our XML feed when we publish an article on our website. Can we add a javascript tracking pixel (from phpadsnew) into the XML file to track how many times our feed was accessed? Just to get a rough idea how manyh subscribers we have? Not sure if copying and pasting a javascript into the XML source would work.

Hi folks, I'm trying to figure out this whole RSS feed thing. I've created my .xml file to use for my feed, and my browsers "recognize" that I have an RSS feed, and you can subscribe, etc., etc. Here's why I "think" I want to use an RSS feed, and what I'm confused about. I have one file (and one file only) on my web site that changes

I am trying to display CNET new RSS feeds on my Intranet home page but there is a problem of my proxy I think. I was able to retrieve the RSS file using CFHTTP but when I saw the file it had the following content instead of the normal XML <html> <head> <title>403 Forbidden</title> </head> <div style="display:none" id="errorcode">Access has been denied because you are not logged in!</div>

I'm very new to RSS. I was given a URL that starts with "feed:". I want to be able to open this and read in its content into a PHP program to produce a report. I'm not interested in converting it to HTML. Question: Is a URL that starts with feed: output XML? Question: How do I open a feed: URL in PHP and parse it? Thanks!
