Stopping www.dbvt.com rss feed. Imminent feed stoppage possible!

I am working on a fix on the double RSS feed in CS.  One of the things I have to do is support a single site domain: dbvt.com.  Screw the WWW.  I stopped using that in 1996 myself.  Apologies to WWW affectionados.

What this means is that if your feed suddenly dries up, chances are it's because the removal of generating a www.dbvt.com-based feed prevented your reader from downloading new posts.  Depends on the reader and the intricacies of RSS of which I'm not too sophisticated.   So please, if you no longer get new posts, please update your feed to http://dbvt.com/blog/rss.aspx

The change I am making (which I'll describe later), may or may not work in eliminating the duplicate feeds.  The point is that if the feed stops spewing my wit and wisdom, please update the URL.

Peace and feed on!

Dave, how about responding to www-requests with a HTTP status 301 (moved permanently) and the non-www URL? This way, "state-of-the-art" aggregators would change the subscription URI automatically.

Thomas, great hearing from you.  Its good to know that even though you're not posting that you're still providing valuable comments.

Your suggestion sounds like an excellent idea.  I wouldn't have a clue on how to implement it though.  If I continue to have problems, I may have to get back to you and beg you to write a post on it. Smile

Thanks!

Glad I could help. However, there's no reason for me to blog about it, because ScottW already did: scottwater.com/.../PermanentRedirects.aspx.
And here's some additional info: www.wwwcoder.com/.../default.aspx

Thank you for the follow-up, Thomas.  If my recent fix doesn't do the job, I'll definitely investigate.
