RSS feed?

[ #8369 ]

RSS feed does not seem to work. I have tried to download using wget "http://use.perl.org/journal.pl?op=rss&uid=121" but it returns a normal HTML page, not the RSS feed. Is anybody using it?

I get weirdness too:

wget "http://use.perl.org/journal.pl?op=rss&uid=121" --15:29:07-- http://use.perl.org:80/journal.pl?op=rss&uid=121 => `journal.pl?op=rss&uid=121' Connecting to use.perl.org:80... connected!

  I suck, and aim to rectify. Try http://use.perl.org/journal.pl?op=display&uid=121&content_type=rss in the meantime.

    BTW, the only way to get the user ID is to look at the pages' source?

      Bummer, you just have to look at these messages :-(

  The reason is because the url contains special characters, which indeed are ampersand. So whenever you've got `& in the url, just espace them using \. You can try it different ways: 1 wget 'http://use.perl.org/journal.pl?op=rss&uid=121' 2 wget http://use.perl.org/journal.pl?op=rss [perl.org]\&uid=121 3 or even wget http://use.perl.org/journal.pl?op=rss&uid=121\"" Whichever works for you. Cheers and happy wget Camille
