asked on

rss news feed over https

My website is  a https based site with a sealed certificate, I want to be able to extract news from the public news feed (i.e. BBC) but that is not possible as these feeds are http based.
I have searched alot and I found many solutions as :
    1- Download the contents first to your server and then display it to your serve.
     2- Configure the apache as proxy.
 My problems with these solutions are:
     1- They are not properly explained.
     2- The most important I do not know which solution has less security risk.
   Any advice please?

Please post a link to one of the RSS feeds you want to consume.  I think I can show you a strategy that will be workable.

If you want to learn a little more about RSS, this article may be enlightening.
