RSS feed in 1by1

[SquareWave]

How could be a rss feed for a url like this http://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/feed/XXX.xml using wget? I couldn't understand quite well this and didn't found a complete FAQ for this feature.

There is an example string in the default configuration. You can get it by deleting the ini file or deleting the "big_rssstring" line from the ini file. The ini file can be found either in the program directory or in the application data folder of the user profile.

Example:
curl.exe http://www.tagesschau.de/xml/rss2/ -o %1 -m 10

Curl is another free command line tool for receiving web content. %1 is filled by 1by1 with the destination file name. -m is the timeout value in seconds.

Thanks, I see that, I was trying with wget but didn't get nothing. I will try with curl now...

I just saw that the suggested command line for RSS download may not work in some cases. A correct syntax is something like this:

curl http://www.tagesschau.de/xml/rss2/ -m 10 -o "%1"

%1 must be in quotation marks! Because 1by1 fills this with the save directory and filename which also can contain blanks in the path.

And: curl.exe (or wget) must be somewhere in the PATH - the easiest way is to copy it into the windows directory.

You can also set the complete path for curl/wget in 1by1's RSS settings - but this will work only if there is no blank in the name (e.g.: c:\program files\curl\curl.exe will NOT work).

The procedure is: curl loads the file from the url and stores it into 1by1's settings folder. From there 1by1 opens the file (1by1rss.xml) and displays the content of the <title> tags in the big view.

The RSS feature is documented in the 1by1 manual.
