RSS redirection


Dave Winer: Also, I realize there's a need for a RSS module for redirection. I noted that Jon Udell needed it, and that Rogers Cadenhead needs it now. Not everyone can control their server enough to program an HTTP-level redirect. Would someone like to propose a module? It should be easy to program Radio to support it and we can evangelize it to other aggregators. This could be a first experience at really working together, with no flames. What do you think? Is it time??

If Dave wants to see whether or not it will be possible to work together, he certainly has found an interesting test to do it on.

As Jon Udell discovered, a solution already exists which is simplicity onto itself.  Channel elements have an "about" element which specify where the rss feed can be found.  If present and different, then readers should follow.

What makes this test case interesting is the namespace that this attribute is defined in.

This should be interesting to watch.
