I have been using the traffic and travel RSS feeds from backstage for
some time for a Mac OSX Desktop Widget. Recently I have noticed that
the <link> items for each incident now bring up 404 error messages
when linked to directly e.g:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/tpeg/en/local/rtm/norfolk_rss.xml
contains
<link>
http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/travelnews/int/syndication/rss/-/travelnews/
local/norfolk.shtml#1001927
</link>
But, if you put the above into a browser, they redirect without
problem to:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/local/norfolk.shtml
It used to be good that the <link>s would anchor to the correct
incident on the page, but I assume that functionality is now lost. I
plan to recode the Widget to link directly to the county in question,
but before I do, I wanted to make sure the problem I am seeing is not
temporary.
