Based on the suggestions here I decided to use SimpleRSS but no matter what RSS feed I try, I keep getting the error: "Poorly formatted feed" I have tried "well formatted" RSS 0.91, 0.92 and 2.0 feeds but to no avail. Can anyone please come to my rescue? Thanks Frank --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? With a free 1 GB, there''s more in store with Yahoo!

I found the code (but not the reason) why I am getting the error:
The code is:
raise SimpleRSSError, "Poorly formatted feed" unless
@source =~ %r{<(channel|feed).*?>.*?</(channel|feed)>}mi
However, I have even tried the example slashdot.rdf but to no avail?
Any assistance is appreciated.

Hello,
This is my code so far:
begin
@feeds = @category.feeds
for @feed in @feeds
rss = SimpleRSS.parse(@feed.url, true)
# .. formatting code
end
rescue Exception => exc
flash[:notice] = "R: #{exc.message}"
end
Any suggestions / ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

My code to do something similar looks like: rss = SimpleRSS.parse(rio(@feed.url).read, true) because the rio library is too groovy not to use like that. -- Alex
