What is the code for an rss reader that only accesses local content?


I need an rss reader for viewing feeds on our Intranet. The only rss readers I've found can only read web based feeds. I want to place the rss reader within an <iframe> or <object> within my page.


Solution

  • You need the RSS reader to be in the same zone as the feeds. So if you want a web-based RSS reader that can read feeds available on your company network, the web-based RSS reader also needs to be running within your network.

    So if your feeds are delivered via:

    http://mynetwork/feeds/feed.xml
    http://mynetwork/feeds/feed2.xml
    

    You could pop a web-based reader in the same place to display them all nicely...

    http://mynetwork/feeds/reader/
    

    If you want more help getting hold of a feed-reader that you can install on your network, please let me know what technology stack you are able to use.
