When the RSS feed is delivered, it contains links articles formatted in RSS compliant XML as:

 <item>
   <title>(comment) Blog entry: Photos</title>
   <link>/blog/ltmon/2009/08/07/new-computer-up-and-running#comment-5706</link>
   <description> ..... etc.

This doesn’t work from any feed reader (I know of) as it doesn’t contain the site URL (eg. http://teamipx.net for our site). On my computer it actually looks for a file on my computer at the given path and fails with 404.

Feeds should always be delivered with a fully qualified domain name in it’s “link” section.

Applied latest dev version released today. URLs are still relative, not fully qualified.

Thanks for the feedback. I can't reproduce this however. Any chance you could get into the code and create a patch? Perhaps that may make things clear where the problem comes from.

Not much of a coder, creating patch is a bit beyond me.

Unsure how this could be unreproducible though. Where in the code does the URL output for the RSS feed come from? The code in the .module file? Something stored in the DB? If I can get some kind of idea of that, I could clear out that part and install again from scratch to ensure it's not something left over from a previous version. (In theory, that would only mean database, as code is overwritten each build).

As stated earlier (http://drupal.org/node/543972#comment-2557692), using the Feb 4, 2010 build of Recent changes (latest as of Recent Changes page), this is still occurring.

Also this cannot be a duplicate of #352648: RSS feed not working - not valid RSS feed error, as that works for me, while relative URLs in the rss feed still do not.

Reapplying latest dev build (which in available updates page of Drupal seemed to have a later date than Feb 4) solved the issue.
