ATOM feed not working

(closed account) says:
Getting errors in Google RSS and FeedDemon RSS readers.

From FeedDemon RSS reader, the error message says:

"The feed URL could not be auto-discovered. This site may not have a feed or it may not support auto-discovery of its feed."

Please help.

Thanks for letting us know, we're fixing this now.

For the time being, if you replace the http:// with https:// then it should work.

"Error reading source feed https://www.rememberthemilk.com/atom/bittercrash/111545/: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized." is the error I'm getting.

Just wanted to mention that I'm not able to access the atom feeds via bloglines either.

Hello-

I have tried to use the Atom feed in AvantGo (for the Palm) and in NewsMac (a desktop feed reader); both of them choke and report no valid feed. I have tried with http:// and https://, and no dice either way. Bloglines also says ptui.

Any suggestions, please?

P.S. My goal is to get the list onto my Palm via HotSync; if anyone has a better way of doing that, please speak up.

I think the reason it won't work in Bloglines is that the feed is a secure Atom feed. You need to authenticate to get access. I actually like that the feed is secure and wouldn't want it made public (unless it was optional). So maybe we should harp on Bloglines to offer support for secure feeds?

Perhaps we could use an obscure address (akin to the personalized email address we use to add to our lists) and subscribe to that in lieu of the secure feed. I would trade secure for very hard to guess.

I have found that if you publish your list as Public, the feed will work.
