not able to be subscribed to my dynamic rss

[fredd00]

Hi

we have some page that genreate rss 2.0 feed the url is like .../
rssfeed.aspx?id=123

the page displays properly in browsers, but when we try to add the
page to a reader
like google reader , we always get an error saying : no feed available
for .../rssfeed.aspx?id=123

is there a reason that this page cannot be subscribed to ? it is
genreating a rss 2.0 feed

thanks

Did you try the suggestion that was made to you yesterday on this same
posting?

try and read the feed via your code:
Dataset.ReadXML(your rss feed);

and see if that works, if your using Google Reader it may be something with
that. I ran into a similiar issue with a generated RSS feed, I couldn't read
it through google but I was able to read it through my web part. So try
that.

You could try a feed validator such as :
http://validator.w3.org/feed/

that will only validate the sytnax of the RSS feed, it won't let you know if
you can subscribe to it or not.

Yes, the idea is first to make sure that the RSS feed is correct to then
concentrate on either the source feed or how Google Reader (that works for
now here) sees the feed.

If he's able to see it the RSS XML via the browsers, then won't validating
defeat the purpose?

My thought is, he should provide the entire URL to the feed and see if
anyone else can 'subscribe' to it, like you said, it may be the way Google
is trying to parse the XML. I ran into a similar issue when I was trying to
subscribe to a feed using their reader. I then gave up and created my own
web page to view all the RSS feeds I wanted.

it was much easier then trying to figure out why Google wasn't reading the
feed

Wonder also if it wasn't a problem with the URL (wondered if he used a
relative path ? would be an obvious mistake but who knows as he didn't
mention he didn't want to give the full url). Also he didn't detailed what
he saw in the browser (for example if he uses a style sheet to format the
feed it could also display the feed correctly if the stylesheet were done
assuming the same format error or a browser could be somewhat resilient to a
feed error to be liberal with what is accepted (for example some tools are
stuffing a player link for mp3 items etc...) plus in some cases one accepts
html inside items while another one won't want this etc...

So IMO the very first step would be to make 100% sure the feed is valid to
go further down in the binary tree of possible errors....

Good point, if he posted the actual URL for the feed, it would be easier to
determine if its a XML issue or the reader is using to parse it out.
