Hi! We are using Atom to get notifications about PDF documents added to collections at various government agencies. This works well since we are consuming the feeds programatically. A typical entry looks like this (please note the atom:content element):
<entry> <id>tag:example.com,2009:1</id> <updated>2009-05-13T18:30:02Z</updated> <published>2009-05-13T18:30:02Z</published> <title>A title</title> <summary>A summary</summary> <content src="/docs/example.pdf" type="application/pdf" /> </entry> It would be nice if the same feeds could be used in popular feedreaders too. I have tried feeds with entries like the one above in IE8, Firefox 3.5b4, Google Reader and Safari 4 but none of them make it possible to access the PDF specified in the atom:content element. Is this a misunderstanding on my part or is it just a rare enough example that hasn't been implemented in client software? Regards, Peter Krantz
