Hello all, I wrote an RSS feed generator for one of my projects recently and could luckily complete also the parser before the new semester starts tomorrow. So you get a gb.rss component in the latest revision #8117.
It should support all the things that are mentioned in the RSS 2.0
specification here [1], but there are still some problems:
* The date conversion routines ignore timezones completely, because
I have no clue about working with timezones in Gambas.
* The strings you give to Rss* objects are put into the XML file
verbatim currently, which is not desirable if these strings
are HTML or some other things that confuse an RSS (XML) parser.
I guess those strings should be wrapped in a CDATA section.
I'd be grateful for a routine that tells me when to use CDATA.
The attached project demonstrates the feed generator part. It takes the
output of "ps", for the lack of a better data source, and turns it into
an RSS feed, which is then offered through gb.httpd. I tested the resulting
feed with newsbeuter. Just load the feed, start some new programs and then
reload the feed.
@Adrien or Fabien: While playing around with the XmlReader, I noticed some
problems. I tried to fix them to the best of my ability in #8116, but as
always it would be better if you looked through the matter again.
Regards,
Tobi
