I am using a script called xmlnews.cgi to output rss newsfeed headlines on my website.
I want this script to access the RSS feeds made available by News.com.au in Australia. However, the above script does not recognise the content, yet it is okay with others.
For example, it will not parse:
news.com.au url>http://headlinefeeds.news.com.au/servlet/Controller?controlleraction=feedaction&feedid=1&count=10&typeid=4
However the script is okay with a Yahoo RSS file:
yahoo url>http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories
The only difference in the files that I can notice is that the News.com.au RSS starts with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
and the Yahoo RSS starts with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
Could the UTF-8 encoding be causing a problem?
Any help for this RSS newbie would be appreciated.
cheers,
Glen.
