What error message do you get? I can subscribe to this feed in my
parser just fine (whose first step is an XMLParse()). I assume you're
making a CFHTTP call to retrieve the content? Check that content to
see whether whitespace - or any other character data - is being
introduced before the

An error occured while Parsing an XML document.
The element type meta must be terminated by the matching end-tag .

Aha. You're using a devnet version of CF.

Sorry. Hit send too soon. The devnet version of ColdFusion
introduces a meta tag that identifies itself as a devnet version.
That meta tag is placed within the head (beginning with v7.0) of HTML
documents, but since XML docs don't have that tag CF just puts it in
at the top of the document.
I get the same error using the RE below.
I know just enough RE at this point to understand what you're suggesting, but
not enough to fix it -- it's apparently not stripping out everything above the
declaration tag.

See if you can strip it before trying to use the content:
cfset
Have you cfdumped cfhttp.fileContent to see what's there? Might be
something else that's messing you up.

Howard, if you'll send my your cfhttp call, I'll take a look.
Shouldn't take long.

Actually, Google doesn't like IE, use this one instead:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4)
Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Just kidding! Sorry, it's Friday afternoon, I couldn't resist. :)

That did the trick. Thanks.

You have to put in a standard User Agent like:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
When doing the CFHTTP otherwise Google blocks it.

No, probably not. You can only have one root element within a well-formed
XML document.
