RSS Advice

Hi All

Just to start off with, I have never really used an RSS feed before so I am speaking from a place of total ignorance here. Also this is a question for the old school 5.6.3.4 crew :)

I want to add a RSS feed to my Home Page, RSS displayer block seems the right thing to me. I add the feed to my RSS reader in my browser to check it works OK and there is it in all its glory.
I add the same URL to the RSS displayer block and I get a message saying "Oops, it looks like you've entered an invalid feed address!"

This has me a bit perplexed so I head over to another RSS feed on a totally different site and bingo the feed works in the RSS displayer block.

So I guess my question is this, if a feed works in a RSS reader in a browser why would it not work in the RSS displayer block?
The offending feed that does not work in the RSS Displayer ishttp://www.icaew.com/en/rss/corporate-finance...

I have totally cleared my cache as several post I read suggested that without much luck.

Any advice or suggestions greatly appreciated

Is the site that fails to read the RSS on a windows dev system?
Is there a mix of http and https?

Hi John

The site is on a LAMP stack with cPanel and I cant see any HTTPS action going on anywhere.
