Description Daniel Höpfl 2007-01-31 15:11:53 PST 
For RSS-Files that are on servers that do not use http (e.g. https-only server or file:-URLs) can not be used in the RSS-view.

Safari should use the URL of the <link>-Tag without modifying it to the feed:-protocol.

Or it should use a "feeds" protocol, which would signify a feed on SSL.

This would fix https but not the other protocols.

The feed URI scheme draft allows to use absolute URIs behind the feed:-protocol specifier: feed:gopher://example.com/rss

I've tested in the latest Webkit r30595 this RSS feed:https://secure3.silverorange.com/rsstest/rss_with_ssl.xml and also downloaded file:  feed:file:///Users/user/Downloads/rss_with_ssl.xml 

I found no problem. The RSS is displayed. So WORKSFORME.

No, it should not.  See Comment #3.
