Description Robert Kuma 2007-09-01 00:41:42 UTC
When trying to get feeds - either by View Feed (ALT+J) or News link while on gimp.org home page - Internet Explorer returns this error:

"Internet Explorer cannot display this feed 
 Internet Explorer does not support this feed format

Supported feed formats

ATOM 0.3, 1.0 
RSS 0.91, 0.92 
RSS 1.0 
RSS 2.0 ..."

There is no problem when viewing the feed with FireFox.

I couldn't get the news on two systems that I checked. Both were running XP Pro SP2. Internet Explorer version is 7.0.5730.11.

add RDF element

I'm not totally sure, but we might be lacking the RDF element here (or why would we set up tis attributes in rdf.py?).
Comment 2 GrafxUser 2012-08-23 17:58:30 UTC
Tested with IE 9 on Windows 7 32 bit. IE 9 is still not able to read RDF.
We should provide the news feed in Atom or RSS format. Due to a lack of developers the GIMP team can't do this in short time. Please use Firefox, Opera or another browser, that can handle RDF.
I suggest to close this old bug now.

Let's condense the open 'GIMP news feed' bugs down into a single one with the topic 'Gimp.org news feed: provide a valid RSS feed'.

As I wrote in bug 682541: Most probably the cause is very simply a wrong version number in the rss-element. It should be <rss version="2.0"> instead of <rss version="1.0">. Firefox ignores it, but Thunderbird and several others do not.

I'm pretty sure the answer lies here: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp-web/tree/programmatic/rdf.py#n70

Could also be the contenttype it is being served as http://stackoverflow.com/a/10341413/1185957

How do I get http://localhost/news.rdf to display the RSS feed locally to test?

Valid and proper ATOM feeds are now available for the site:
