The redirect appears to be working fine as tested in Firefox, but Safari does not redirect. I am using the latest version for mac.

Any ideas?

I just tested a redirect that uses the 6.x-1.x code in Safari 3.2.1 on Windows (I do not have a mac to test). What is the URL of the original feed that should redirect so I can test it?

The feed is at www.diyhappy.com/feed

When I click that link in Safari, it works. However, when I go to the website www.diyhappy.com and click on the RSS icon in the location bar, it does not forward.

It seems that clicking the RSS button in Safari looks like it is loading feed://www.diyhappy.com/feed, but if you look at the source, you'll see it has actually loaded the FeedBurner feed. It just does not show the redirect location in the address bar. For what it's worth, if you manually enter the URL http://www.diyhappy.com/feed in the address bar, it shows that the location is redirected to FeedBurner (feed://feeds2.feedburner.com/Diyhappy).

For instance, when I click on the RSS button on diyhappy.com, the source contains sections like the following:
<div class="apple-rss-subject" title="Your Own Personal Fonts"><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Diyhappy/~3/0peYqEMeLkM/your-own-personal-fonts">Your Own Personal Fonts</a></div>

The subject links are the same ones that are in your FeedBurner's feed.

So in conclusion, there's really no problem here. Safari still loads the redirected FeedBurner feed's content, but doesn't update the address with the location. There's not anything the module can do. Make sense?

Makes sense - I thought it might be a Safari quirk. I wonder if it could be considered a bug to not refresh the location bar with redirects.

Anyway, thanks for looking at it.

@Dave Reid: I know this is no bug or problem, but what If the url path must show the correct feedpath url? is there any solution for this?
