Rails - Jun 2006 - How to test RSS feeds while developing it on localhost

Hi,

I am developing on windows xp and am trying to create RSS feed for an app
using RoR. How do I test my RSS feed while I am developing it. I don''t
know
of any feed reader that would accept localhost as the input.

Thanks

You can also put an entry into your hosts file to route a ficticious 
domain name back to 127.0.0.1

or sign up with a free service such as dyndsn.  I prefer this method so
that I can access my site from anywhere without having to remember my
IP.
