Re: RSS Reader

Hi,

One of the sample programs included with HTTPAPI 1.10 demonstrates
downloading the XML from an RSS feed and parsing out the news titles and
links.

Granted, it doesn't try to provide a way to read the actual articles
(actually parsing and displaying HTML would take a VERY VERY VERY long
time to write, and it wouldn't work all that well over a 5250 display,
anyway...  so it's really not worth it, IMHO)

Still, if it interests you, you can find it at:

The RSS example is in the source member called EXAMPLE15.
