Hi,

I found this information difficult to get and found this group, so
asking the question.

We need to build a RSS reader in our application. I wanted to
understand when I query a RSS feed do I get entries from the beginning
of time that RSS feed was created.

If I then check the feed again (say 1 hour later), do I get all the
entries again and then deduplicate based on GUID.

Is there a way to say, here is the latest feed I have, give me newer
items with RSS or is that not how RSS works.

Tony
