Bug reports / How to deliver an RSS feed
« on: September 13, 2008, 10:11:51 PM »
Hi
I try to deliver a valid RSS feed with HFS (both latest official and 202beta) but my IE7 will not detect it as an RSS feed but make a download.
For testing I took the rss.xml file from my web-site (which is hosted on an apache server at an ISP) and IE7 will correctly show it as feed.
I modified the HTML pattern with the <link> so the FEED ICON would correctly lit in IE7. I also added the MIME-type to the list. I tried "text/xml" and "application/xml" and "application/rss+xml" but nothing would work. IE7 still makes a download and does not show the feed.
I took my IIS7, placed the rss.xml file and created the MIME-type and the feed would show in IE7. I also took the OmniSecure 3.0 web-server placed the rss.xml file and added the MIME-type and IE7 would show the feed.
So I guess, that something in HFS.EXE is not delivering the file with the correct header to IE7 so it would not detect it as a valid feed.
It can not be the rss.xml file itself, because it works in IIS7, OmniSecure and Apache correctly.
Any guesses?
