This library is a simple RSS2 parser and RSS reader web
application. To run the web application you'll need to make sure you
have the sqlite library working. This can be tested with
"sqlite" require
"sqlite" test-module
Remember that to use "sqlite" you need to have done the following
somewhere:
USE: alien
"sqlite" "/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so" "cdecl" add-library
Replacing "libsqlite3.so" with the path to the sqlite shared library
or DLL. I put this in my ~/.factor-rc.
Before running the RSS reader web application you need to create the
history database in the same directory as the 'f' executable. Create
it with:
sqlite3 history.db
> create table rss (url text, title text, link text, primary key (url));
> create table entries (url text, link text, title text, description text, pubdate text, primary key(url, link));
> [eof]
To load the web application use:
"rss" require
Fire up the web server and navigate to the URL:
http://localhost:8888/responder/maintain-feeds
Add any RSS2 compatible feed. Use 'Update Feeds' to retrieve them and
update the sqlite database with the feed contains. Use 'Database' to
view the entries from the database for that feed.
