Windows Rss Platform

OVERVIEW

Windows RSS Platform consists of three components:

Common RSS Data Store - The data store for all feeds managed by the RSS Platform. The RSS Platform API exposes these feeds after sanitizing, that is stripping it off scripts, embeeded objects and other potentially malicious stuff. Access to unformatted XML for the feeds is also allowed.

Common RSS sync engine - The download engine is responsible for downloading the content at periodic intervals. By default, it does not download feed enclosures, which are objects attached to the feed; however this behavior is user configurable. However, it uses ''Attachment Execute Services'' to prevent automatic downloading of potentially malicious file types. It uses Windows' Scheduled Tasks for scheduling and Background Intelligent Transfer Service for background downloading. In order to prevent the web server from being flooded on large number of feed downloads, it also adds slight random delay between requests.

Common RSS Feed List - The list of feeds subscribed to is exposed by the RSS Platform APIs. All RSS clients, including Internet Explorer 7 and Microsoft Outlook 2007 , share the list. All modifications thus are reflected across all the RSS readers.
