FeedTools and mime types

ruby-talk
1

I've been attempting to use FeedTools to generate an RSS feed for my
app.

When I poke the app from the browser with:
http://localhost:3000/feed/rss

the http:// is stripped out of the URL input and I get this error:
Safari can’t open the page “localhost:3000/feed/rss” because it cannot
redirect to locations starting with “localhost:”.

Firefox seems to think that http://localhost:3000/feed/rss is an
application I might need to download.

So I'm thinking that the problem stems from the mime type (content-type)
not being set correctly.
I don't see where I can change this.

# Here is the Controller Code:
class FeedController < ApplicationController
  require 'feed_tools'

  def rss
    @links = Link.find( :all, :order => "created_at", :limit => 20)
    @headers["Content-Type"] = "application/rss+xml"

    @feed = FeedTools::Feed.new
    @feed.title = "Railsroad"
    @feed.subtitle = "Climbing the Ruby learning curve"
    @feed.link = "http://www.railsroad.com/feed/rss"
  end
end

# This is the rss.rxml
xml.rss('version' => '2.0') do
  xml.channel do
    xml.title(page_title)
    xml.link(@request.protocol + @request.host_with_port + url_for(:rss
=> nil))
    xml.description(page_title)

    @links.each { |p|
      xml.item do
      xml.title(p.title)
      xml.link(@request.protocol + @request.host_with_port +
url_for(:controller => "links", :action => "discuss", :id => p.id))
      xml.description( h(p.description))
      xml.pubDate(p.created_at)
    end
  }
  end
end

I was also thinking that maybe it has something to do with the fact that
I've not defined a layout for the FeedController and so it's trying to
use layout/application.rhtml

All suggestions are appreciated.

thanks,
Bryan
