Any news about XML-level redirect?   Message List  
Reply Message #891 of 2009 |
A few months ago I found this interesting suggestion
http://radio.userland.com/stories/storyReader$19964 .

I tested it on a few aggregators but no one supported it.
Only NetNewsWire seems to do it, according with what Dave wrote.

I think this is a wonderful feature if you can't setup an HTTP 301
server side redirect.
Actually many users write a one-item feed telling subscribers the feed
moved to an other location.

What do you think?

I think it's a mistake for consumers to update feed URLs on 301 (permanent) redirects silently. Unless the consumer has an "restore-last-feedURL" feature, the...

Both Radio UserLand and Manila should support this feature, though they would need to be tested to know for sure. My guess would be that the aggregator in the...
