Finding the RSS Feed

23 New Member
On blogs, you have an RSS Feed.

In the heading of the page (usually the homepage) there is this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="http://anydomain.com/somekindofname.xml">
  2.  
Note: there is no way of knowing the exact name of the feed, from the site url alone. It has to be found.

Using Perl
Is there a simple way to find the above tag, then extract the URL of the feed from the href?
Preferably without having to use any modules.

I haven't got the remotest clue how to do this.

I will have the URL of a blog, so no problem on that score. Once I have the URL of the feed, I'm okay from there.

I sure hope someone can help, thanks.

I have a script that has been modified from one that I found on the internet to display RSS feeds in html. The script works fine for most RSS feeds but there are a number that it fails on with the error "End tag 'head' does not match the start tag 'meta'". Does any one on here have any experience with this? The script is shown below, the Neowin feed works but the google feed does not. Any help would be appreciated.

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

Hi there, I have a website that functions fine locally, but when published to the server it develops a bottleneck during loading some of the pages. Basically what happens is the page loads to about 25% then it freezes for anything from 10 - 40 seconds, before suddenly loading the rest of the page. Of course I understand that this could be down to some code on the page locking the thread or suchlike, but I would like to be able to be...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
