Given that we've been running support for RFC3229+feed on our servers at PubSub.com[1] for a few days now, I thought it might make sense to gather some...
There's a proposal here (http://jaeger.blogmatrix.com/weblog/archives/2004_10.shtml#002993) for allowing heterogeneous weblog reader/syndication clients to ...
Some thoughts on all this podcasting stuff. Excuse the small amount of MS Win-centricity. - Podcasting really needs a resident, local aggregator that runs all...
Which aggregators do a feed collection run at the top of the hour? If you're the author of an aggregator, please don't do this. Please add a little randomness....
Well in a recent stats run on hits against gnews2rss.php, 90% of the aggregators reported no User-Agent, so it's impossible to tell. There is some randomness...
I don't think any aggregators are doing it this way at least not that I've seen and I have seen a lot of them :). Aggregators usually use interval which could...
... All popular aggregators I know of send a User-Agent header, as well as most bots and most HTTP libraries. Something very strange is happening to your site....
... Well yes. But what minute past the hour do they fire? It may be every 2 hours, but still fire at 00:00, 02:00, 04:00. Or is it 00:23:23, 02:23:23,...
... Hmm, here's an idea, alter your code to put in a new item asking them to fix their aggregator. That way you could provide them content AND the 'public ...
... BottomFeeder has a configurable update cycle - the shortest interval it supports is 30 minutes. What it does is fire off updates N minutes after the end...
... What you suggest would be an inappropriate use of referrer. This field is clearly defined in the HTTP 1.1 specification[1] as follows: "The Referer[sic]...

... Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly :) What I meant was that most aggregators refreshes its feed in interval between the last refresh and not in the...
... fix ... 'public ... Take one last stab at the lazy apps and put a notification of them in there. Go out in a blaze of Quixotic glory! -Bill Kearney...
... I've hacked at Feed on Feeds a bit and changed the way it checks for feeds. The feed checking does happen every hour, but it checks the database for each...
BottomFeeder runs an update loop on a regular (user defined) interval. Before firing off an http query, it checks the feed's update settings (if any) as...
... My home grown one does this. - Start at 60 minute refresh - If a new item comes in set it to 60 minutes - If no new item is present add 30 minutes to the...
... nntp//rss supports per-feed polling intervals. Its polling manager wakes up every 30 seconds and determines, based upon the interval setting and the ...
Hi all, Anyone coming to DC next week for XML 2004? Perhaps it'd be good to coordinate a get-together BoF session. It's my home town so I'll certainly attend....
... I'd rather see the podcasting tool understand how to use a system-wide BT mechanism, as well as other p2p protocols. I'd rather not have apps duking it...
... This was all written some time ago. Having now played with Azureus I'd agree. BT may be a simple protocol, but doing a full client is a project in it's own...
... Is there anything remotely resembling a GUID for files on a generalised P2P system? I vaguely remember people talking about this in the past, but I don't...
How aggressive are aggregators now about stripping malicious HTML from the <description> field? I'd like to add some small css style= alterations to some <a...
BottomFeeder doesn't strip any tags. It's immune from the various tag/script based attacks though, since the html component I use doesn't support any of the...
