Users are not able to subscribe to RSS feed using Outlook express

[Prashantgenial]

Hi,

I have implemented RSS in one of my project .
My project is an intranet site.
In my project i use the rss.cfm for subscribing to the content.

users are able to subscribe using IE7 & firefox but when users try to subscribe using Outlook 2007 or outlook 2003 . they are not able to subscribe.

is there any way so that users can subscribe by their outlook as well ??

Thanks & Regards,
Prashant Gupta

Hi rollerskatie,

i tried the www.feedvalidator.org however it return the status "server returned timeout." .

while i am able to subscribe to feed using the IE & firefox.
my project site is an Intranet site.

I am not able to understand this behaviour , why i am able to subscribe using the IE and firefox and not able to subscribe using the outlook.


Thanks

Hi,

I assume you might have given your local intranet url in the feedvalidator.org site, (You can input only live urls here.).

Navigate to the following url and just copy and paste your rss code and checkout the results..
