Chris, For example, the following real world RSS 2.0 feed URL (a health news feed from Reuters) is dislayed as raw XML using both Internet Explorer 6.0 and Firefox 1.5.0.3:
http://www.microsite.reuters.com/rss/healthNews/ But when I take that feed and use its data item content to build my own RSS 2.0 feed using TG via FeedController (suose for example, I am merging multiple Reuters feeds together for a one-stop Reuters feed), then the URL for that feed (which successfully does validate in W3C validator as valid RRS 2.0) when put into that same Internet Explorer 6.0 does not display any XML content and results in the following dialog box being displayed: File Download Do you want to save this file? Name: rss2.0 Type: Unknown File Tye From: ... my server name and port [SAVE] {Cancel] Very similarly for Firefox 1.5.0.3, the TG-generated feed does not display XML as it does for the reuters.com feed URL, but instead dislays the following dialog box: Opening rss2.0 which is a 0 file from: http://... my server name and port What should Firefox do with this file? [_] Open with [Browse...] [_] Save to Disk [OK] [Cancel] (And if I go through steps to save and then open in a text editor, I eventually do see my TG-generated RSS 2.0 XML but this is much less convenient than having it shown in the browser right away.) Somehow the RSS 2.0 data sent from my TG program somehow must appear differently to IE 6.0 and Firefox 1.5.0.3 than does the RSS 2.0 feed from reuters.com, even though the W3C validator confirms it is valid, and readers from Google and Bloglines process it fine, and the newer broswer versions of both IE and Firefox treat is just fine with their new enhanced RSS capabilities. The other issue, possibly related but that's just speculation, is that some RSS feed readers such as My Yahoo! also do not acknowledge my TG- generated RSS 2.0 feeds as such. My wild guess is that maybe the same thing that causes IE 6.0 and Firefox 1.5.0.3 both to be (mistakenly) confused is also causing some feed readers to be confused - and actually the latter is a bigger problem for me so at some point I will submit a seerate reort here when I have time to check some more feed readers in addition to Google, Bloglines, and My Yahoo. Thanks as always to all for any feedback or insights.
