I am currently creating a RSS feed linked to a custom built news column. The news column uses a series of query strings in order to direct the user to a specific post or posts! However the problem I am facing is that the rss feed is replacing some of these query strings with random numbers. For instance:
http://www.correlatesearch.com/news.aspx?cat=BusinessManagementControls&nw=
&nw= is being replace with
&
Can anyone direct to a way around this??
Many thanks!
My guess is that you’re looking at the raw RSS – which is XML. Within XML,
&has to be escaped as&. This is far from “random numbers”.I suspect you’ll find that
&nw=is actually being escaped to&nw=– in which case it’s not actually changing your content at all. It’s representing the text of your URL in an XML-appropriate way. When the XML is read by a client, it will (or should) understand it appropriately.
