[OpenLayers-Users] Syntax for the GeoRSS call?

[Alexandre Leroux]

Thanks to Robert and Christopher, the proxy was simply the problem.

Great that it works so easily. Here's my preliminary success: 
http://slashgeo.org/georss.html . Preliminary because some work is 
required to integrate it more tightly with slashcode. Once done, I'll 
share the OpenLayers solution for GeoRSS with other slash-based site owners.

Thanks again :-)
