<p>This behavior sounds like a known defect in which the
<strong>UserAgent</strong> provided by Cascade when rendering Feed
Blocks is not allowed by the server, causing the rendering to fail.
I have attached the defect to this discussion so you can track its
progress in the upper right-hand corner.</p>
<p>In the meantime, the best options are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Configure the server to allow UserAgents from Java. The agent
would look something like <strong>Java/1.8.0_51</strong> (varies
depending on what version of Java you are running Cascade on)</li>
<li>If the server is out of your control, use a proxy that can
accept the Java UserAgent and loads/serve the RSS feed</li>
</ul>
<p>Please let me know if you have any questions.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>Ryan Griffithtag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/396942792016-04-22T18:40:00Z2016-04-22T18:40:00ZCan't get Feed Block to work with a specific RSS feed...<div><p>gotcha, thanks!</p></div>Nandotag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/396942792016-04-22T19:49:41Z2016-04-22T19:49:41ZCan't get Feed Block to work with a specific RSS feed...<div><p>Not a problem at all.</p>
<p>I forgot to mention I ran a quick test using cURL to verify
this.</p>
<p>If you run the following command, you will receive a valid
response:</p>
<pre>
<code>curl -i http://www.nsusharks.com/rss.aspx</code>
</pre>
<p>If you run the same command, but include the Java UserAgent that
is coming from Cascade, you will get the 404 error that coincides
with what you are seeing when Cascade attempts to render the Feed
Block:</p>
<pre>
<code>curl -A "Java/1.8.0_51" -i http://www.nsusharks.com/rss.aspx</code>
</pre>
<p>I'm going to go ahead and close this discussion, please feel
free to comment or reply to re-open if you have any additional
questions.</p>
<p>Have a great day!</p></div>Ryan Griffith
