Tried setting up an RSS feed for the WebDynpro newsgroup. What happens is that when I click on the RSS button I end up with a new page of XML loaded into my web browser. The RSS news software doesn't get triggered.
This works with other sites that I use.

Hi
Assuming (from what you say) that your RSS feed reader gets automatically triggered via a browser 'helper' app, which is associated via a MIME type, I checked the MIME type returned with the RSS XML that you get when pressing the orange button.
Here's a snippet of the debug:
[dj@hadrian tmp]$ GET -Se https://forums.sdn.sap.com/rss/rssmessages.jsp?threadID=6613 --> 200 OK
Connection: close
Date: Mon, 17 May 2004 12:49:56 GMT
Server: SAP J2EE Engine/6.20
Content-Type: <b>text/xml</b>
It's 'text/xml'. Other sites might specify 'application/rss+xml', which might be the MIME type that's used to trigger your RSS feed reader. So perhaps you should check how your browser triggers the RSS feed reader - via what MIME type or types.
What MIME type an RSS feed should be has been debated long and hard; there is not really a simple answer, but IMO something specific like 'application/rss+xml' would be better than the generic 'text/xml' to help in these sorts of situations.
Hope that helps!

Hi Ed,
What I do is going over the RSS button with the mouse and right click <copy shortcut> and paste that URL into my RSS reader "Subscribe by Entering URL" field.
What RSS reader are you using?
Hope this helps, Mark.

Hi James
I'm not running a portal right now, but I seem to remember reading some documentation that said that you could configure a PDV to use an XML data source, using config like this:
PDVSourceType=XML
and then specifying the XML source URL, and the URL of a stylesheet to convert it into something readable by humans:
PDVXMLLink=http://...
PDVXSLLink=http://...
So perhaps you might want to look at PDV iViews ...
Hope that helps!
