feed URI scheme
open-in-new
<p>The feed URI scheme was a suggested <a href="/facts/Uniform_resource_identifier/UjyqxTpA">uniform resource identifier (URI)</a> scheme designed to facilitate subscription to <a href="/facts/Web_feed/reBfT1GS">web feeds</a>; specifically, it was intended that a <a href="/facts/News_aggregator/nzy1zPes">news aggregator</a> be launched whenever a <a href="/facts/Hyperlink/LqNsa84e">hyperlink</a> to a feed URI was clicked in a <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">web browser</a>. The scheme was intended to flag a document in a syndication format such as <a href="/facts/Atom_(standard)/69syB8dH">Atom</a> or <a href="/facts/RSS/WBAWrkdj">RSS</a>. The document would be typically served over <a href="/facts/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol/TWtvf7JD">HTTP</a>. </p>
