Since it's Friday afternoon and all, a longer answer might be useful: RSS is nothing special - there is no real "pushing" or streaming from the server. It is just made to look like that by the RSS reader (client). All the reader does is to re-submit the request periodically so that it quickly sees any update in the resource, so it's just like you leave a normal browser sitting on a page and click Reload every minute or so. At the server end, you just provide a normal URL (albeit with different markup etc.) The thing that makes it come alive is the application *behind* the webserver that updates the content periodically. Usually, you would map the URL to some backend process (PHP, cocoon etc) - rather as you would for any dynamic content.
