Pete Freitag: RSS Feeds have a content type problem. Most people end up serving them with the content-type: text/xml
. But this practice is frowned upon for several reasons. The main reason people don't like text/xml
is because its very vague, there are content types such as application/rss+xml
, application/rdf+xml
, and application/atom+xml
that describe the content of your feed much better than text/xml
does. We should be using these types for our feeds.
