I have been using, quite successfully, NSString's
stringWithContentsOfURL:encoding:error to read RSS feeds from various
sources. All of sudden, I'm getting errors when trying to process
CNN's feeds (which I used to read successfully): the method returns a
null result and an encoding error:
Error: NSError "File could not be opened using text encoding Unicode
(UTF-8)." Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=261
UserInfo={NSStringEncoding = 4; NSURL =
http://rss.cnn.com/rss/money_latest.rss; }
I can download the feed using curl from the command line, and it looks
OK; the HTTP header says the content is UTF-8, the XML header says its
UTF-8, and BBEdit doesn't have any trouble opening the curl-downloaded
content.
I've tried specifying other encodings, and at best I get garbage that
can't be parsed as XML.
Any ideas? My next idea is to open and process the URL connection
myself, but I'd rather keep the simple implementation and fry other
fish first.
TIA,
Doug Knowles
