It's probably a proxy problem. Copying your example to
http://openlayers.org/~crschmidt/georss.semicolo2.html works for me: I
see
http://openlayers.org/proxy/?url=http%3A//geourl.org/near%3Fp%3Dhttp%3A//www.robertbuzink.nl%3Bformat%3Drss10

requested. The /proxy/ URL on openlayers.org behaves slightly
differently than the proxy.cgi in SVN, since it allows access to any
site: I think that is probably where the problem lies.

If you change the request above to point to your own proxy, and work
backwards from there to find out where the proxy is breaking, you might
be able to get it to work.

Give it a try, and if you can figure out that it's a problem with the
OpenLayers-distributed proxy.cgi, feel free to reply with a fix you
made, and we'll get it applied.
