RSS / Atom Feed Autodiscovery #77

Closed Allen-B1 closed 5 years ago

Allen-B1 commented 5 years ago

TL;DR: Any of these three

  1. <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="...">
  2. <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="...">
  3. <link rel="feed" href="...">

Also note that the rel attribute can have more than one keyword (i.e. alternate feed or canonical feed etc.).

alternate stylesheet can not be a feed.

If there are multiple, choose first <link> element.

I've already implemented this for my web browser and am in the process of releasing that update.

I'll be more than happy to help you integrate into that so people don't need to copy and paste links into News. It'll be very trivial.

Nevermind, you've done all that's necessary already. Odysseus will automatically start advertising News as soon as both of our updates are out!
