asked on

change xml feed properties

i am trying to hide the source generator of an XML feed

basically - want to share my feed with someone, but dont want them to see in the XML where I am creating it from (a 3rd party service)

is there a way to mask the source URL of the news items?

There's a potential breach of copyright unless the provider has given you permission to pass this off as your own - do you have that?

yes
Ok then, on the understanding that its your call on the terms and conditions of the original provider. the basic principle is that you accept the incoming feed into your own RSS server, identify the tags and replace all the source details with your own server information adding any enrichment and serving it as a new feed or (in my case) an HTML page.

There are a lot of pre-cooked  code items available but all will need some level of analysis of the incoming feed to see how they have used tagnames and implemented the standard according to their own needs.

I've used the libraries provided by "the art of web"  with some success - but I was not adjusting the source information just amalgamating on the basis of tags and feeding a HTML window-  so that will require further investigation:
