Feeds with > or / in them appear to break the left frame in frames view

ex. http://www.digital-djs.com/xml/DDJReviewsRSS.xml
ex. http://partners.userland.com/nytRss/books.xml

Also, if an " is used in a feed entry title, it does not appear as a “, it shows up as "

Just a brief note (and if there is no response, I’ll try proper email *gasp*) to say that I love this tidbit, and if you are interested, I’d like to add to it. I’m an avid bloglines.com user, but they have no plans of a commercial solution I could use across a intranet, and hence my interest in FeedOnFeeds. What I want to do with it is to hack at that multi-user bit, then create a Topic Maps engine to run categorisation and indexing, and an API that can be used in an intranet. Finally, I’d like to add support for Wikis, as in http://www.shelter.nu/blog-070.html. Anyways, let me know what you think.

The validator message in both cases is correct. These feeds are not well formed XML. FoF can’t deal with feeds that aren’t well formed.

I’m having trouble with these two feeds.

Thanks for saying something, Steve.

These were the URLs I had trouble with (and still have):

http://rassenfrass.blogspot.com/atom.xml
http://cheiraqui.blogspot.com/atom.xml
http://enresinados.blogspot.com/atom.xml
http://j3zz1kuh.blogspot.com/atom.xml

(these were all using the WINDOWS-1252 codepage), and:

http://the.taoofmac.com/space/RecentChanges?format=rss&images=no

(this one is using ISO-8859-15).

Thanks.

From the error message (”Failed to fetch”) it sounds like an HTTP problem. I did notice that Zonble’s size was having some problems the other day, I was getting some Server Errors. Try again!

Found another error:

URL is not RSS or is invalid.
error was: MagpieRSS: Failed to fetch http://zonble.twbbs.org/feed/rdf/. (HTTP Response: )

But the feed validator result is passed.
