Description

I installed your module, and it seems to be running correctly, however, when I click the subscribe button for my website (www.midwesternmac.com), my feed reader (NetNewsWire) still shows the site's URL instead of my feedproxy.feedburner.com/midwesternmac URL... is this proper behavior? i.e. Does the newsreader go to that URL, *then* get redirected to the Feedburner URL?

I tried it myself just within Firefox and it redirected correctly (http://www.midwesternmac.com/rss.xml -> http://feedproxy.google.com/midwesternmac). It's probably where NetNewsWire goes to your original feed's URL and ignores the redirection. You might want to try some different redirect status codes in admin/settings/feedburner and see if they work better.

It's working for me, too. I'll have to look into the NetNewsWire app a little more, to see if there might be something I can do to fix that.
