http-stream.js will stop working soon

stuartpb commented 11 years ago

The patch I submitted for http-stream.js (#20) changed the path to the RSS feed to use the V1 API, since Twitter removed support for RSS through the main site.

Twitter is going to deactivate the V1 API on March 5, 2013. The 1.1 API requires authentication for all requests and does not support RSS (only JSON).

To continue to serve as a working example, the script will need to be rewritten before that happens.

Possible replacements:

A general Atom feed for a search query like http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=xml
A different example using another RSS source altogether, from a site less mercurial than Twitter (#11 made reference to another approach).

Thoughts?

Hi @stuartpb, I've merged your pull request, and going to maintain the package. You are right - now those examples are not functional. Can you help me to write a couple of new working http-stream examples?

https://github.com/assistunion/xml-stream/commits/master.atom would make sense as a new source.
