Overview
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a collection of standardized
formats that are used to publish information about content that is
frequently changed. A news feed is published in XML format, which
contains one or more items that includes summary text, hyperlinks
to source content and additional metadata that is used to describe
the item. News feeds can be used for a variety of purposes,
including providing updates for weblogs, news headlines, video and
audio content. RSS can also be used for other purposes, such as a
software updates, where new updates are listed as items in the
feed.
News feeds can be accessed remotely from a web server, or
locally as an XML formatted text file. The source of the feed is
determined by the URI scheme that is specified. If the http or
https scheme is specified, then the feed is retrieved from a web
server. If the file scheme is used, the feed is considered to be
local and is accessed from the disk or local network. The CNewsFeed
class provides an interface that enables you to open a feed by URL
and iterate through each of the items in the feed or search for a
specific feed item. The class also provides a method that can be
used to parse a string that contains XML data in RSS format, where
the feed may have been retrieved from other sources such as a
database.
Requirements
The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with
any programming language that supports calling functions exported
from a standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual
C++ 6.0 it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6)
installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your
development tools and have the current Windows SDK installed.
This library is supported on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003,
Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. If you are using
Windows XP, it is required that you have Service Pack 3 (SP3)
installed. It is recommended that all service packs and critical
updates to the Windows operating system be installed.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native

Professional, Windows Server 2003 or later versions of the Windows
operating system.
Distribution
When you distribute your application that uses this library, it
is recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your
application executable. If you install the library into a shared
location on the system, it is important that you distribute the
correct version for the target platform and it should be registered
as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library,
not an ActiveX component, and does not require COM
