rss.xml on IIS Invalid?

Tue, 06 Jul 2004 08:22:06 GMT

Some of you may wake up this morning to find that your RSS feed is invalid. If you use a standard setup of IIS and serve your RSS as rss.xml or any filename w/ the .xml extension, then your RSS feed may now be considered invalid. This was caused by a change to the FeedValidator over the weekend. The fix may also cause Manilla flavored RSS feeds to be issued warnings and even errors by the FeedValidator.

iM unsure why I get this error. My only guess is that the FeedValidator incorrectly does a case sensitive comparison when matching the encoding values.

Instructions to fix can be found here.

Update: The errors may have been caused by a bad refactoring of the FeedValidator code. This would be good news and should result in a timely fix of the FeedValidator.

Update: The bad refactoring was confirmed by Joe on the iBLOGthere4iM blog. A fix is on its way.

Update: The problem w/ the FeedValidator has been fixed.

This was intentional to allow the format to grow at the level. This document is an attempt to describe how people have been using the attributes in OPML applications.
