silvercover Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi Guys , I need to make desktop based RSS reader (in desktop RAD tools). I know how to fetch RSS feeds and load headlines and contents into my application. Obviously we can ping remote site once in a while to check for new entries in its RSS, but I prefer not doing this and have my server side application be notified about new entries and send notification to my client application for making it ready parse new entries. I think server side application could be written in PHP and can have some sort of TCP/IP connection (Socket) to desktop application. first of all I need your advices and tips on this theory and if possible, please guide me to the right direction. What should I do? What's the best way? Thanks in Advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sangoku Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I am not an expert in RSS, but as fat i know RSS is only a XML file which can only be accessed and can access back... as far i know But i could be wrong. On every single API i encountered until now (opera mozila mobiile rss reader...) you have to acess the page to check if there are new chanels. As far i know it is not possible, as far...
