There has been much talk on the net recently about podkeyword and hijacking and ransom.... The story is one sided... Please read this.... a response to eweek ...
for what it's worth I am implementing a redirect warning in jPodder. It will ask you if you want to change the feed URL to the redirect URL. Cheers /...
The problem with this is people that are using a redirect to feedburner. I advertise my feed using my domain name and then I have a server side redirect to...
I can only detect HTTP redirects. If you are redirecting using php scripts or other scripts, I won't be able to detect it. Can you post your URL? I want to try...
... Yes, it's absolutely the wrong thing to do in the case of a temporary redirect. Basically redirect handling should follow the HTTP spec - 301 is a...
I can detect the redirect codes, but what is the guarantee that the returned code is correct? / Christophe ... From: "Andy Armstrong" <andy@...> To:...
My public feed URL is http://www.musicnerve.com/podcasts/podcast.xml and it is being redirected to http://feeds.feedburner.com/musicnerve_podcast I set up the...
I am not too sure about this. That's why I want to check it with a "legaly" redirected feed. Perhaps the redirect warning should show the RSS Link URL (Which...
... Well what's the guarantee that anything you receive is correct? :) If you get a validly formed HTTP redirect you have to assume that's what the owner of...
... That's fine - it's a valid 302 redirect which means that the client software should silently follow it without updating the feed URL it has. -- Andy...
True. I am using a temp redirect of my feed but I could just as easily be a hijacker sending a temp redirect code. ... -- http://www.musicNerve.com - strange...
... But why? Presumably you take other aspects of the feed on trust? Why would your program be suspicious about this? The whole point of a 302, 303 or 307 is...
... But for that to be the case the hijacker would already have to have control of your original feed. In the absence of any crypto secure authentication...
... Well help me out, some URLs are pointing to other peoples feeds claiming to be the original. I am trying to break this to protect podcaster and user. If it...
Well, what I was trying to describe and what situation that I think it the one most likely to occur is one where somebody puts up some kind of podjacker.com...
... I don't think the client is the place to solve this problem - at least until there's some reliable way of signing a feed and relating that signature back...
... OK, but the redirect isn't the real problem. If client software stopped trusting redirects then they could just proxy your feed instead - it'd have the...
I think you could break the possibility of hijackers into two groups: those that will stay legal and try to skim money and those that will do anything to make...
Yes, I agree that redirects aren't the way to go. I can produce a temp redirect just as easily as a hijacker could. Therefore they would seem no different to a...
... Except that RSS is a syndication protocol - and there are all sorts of valid reasons to parse a feed and maybe produce a new feed from the result. As an...
... Syndication and permission to reuse content are two different things. You may be happy about this but someone else may not. There are people out there that...
... Yes, it all hinges on permission. My point is that I wouldn't want to see anything built into the technology that made these interesting things impossible...
Yes, I was thinking of <masterfeed> as a channel level tag as it would describe the origin of the entire feed. <originalsource> would be a fine name as well....
... I'm assuming that <source> describes the immediate containing feed rather than the original one (although I can't find that confirmed anywhere). I imagined...
The spec seem to imply that it is a pointer to the original source: "The purpose of this element is to propagate credit for links, to publicize the sources of...
