HELP! My server doesn't know about RSS?!

[$var]

My work was initially hosted with a company that was basically dropping every week and became rude to the point they threatened to remove our data. So we needed to find a host the supported asp. net and php ASAP.

The one we found just told me that they have no experience in supporting RSS. Which to me sounds like they don't support XML of any level, which means they are idiots for hosting business without knowing what business standards are. That aside... I need to provide them with how to support these basic RSS 2.0 feeds!

Can anyone inform me of some documentation on how a Linux Server would go about supporting RSS?

Thanks so much!

It wouldn't, of course it wouldn't. Why would it? What possible buisness would a server have with "supporting" an RSS feed. It's a client-side technology!!!

no it isn't... i mean, yah, the browser parses it... but if it can't find it because the server mime isn't set to understand how to host that particular file...
i'm glad i subscribe to multiple forums, or i would have gone back looking severly underinformed from your repsonce. but thanks for the patronizing tone!

If you're using Apache as your webserver you should only need to add something like the following to your httpd.conf or in an .htaccess file:
Code:
AddType application/xml .rss
or whatever mime type you want.
