In computing, the feed URI scheme (sometimes referred to, imprecisely, as the feed protocol) was a suggested URI scheme designed to facilitate subscription to web feeds; specifically, it was intended that a news aggregator be launched whenever a hyperlink to a feed URI is clicked in a web browser. The scheme was intended to flag a document in a syndication format such as Atom or RSS. The document would be typically served over HTTP.
Famous quotes containing the word feed:
“Salerio. Why, I am sure if he forfeit thou wilt not take his flesh. What’s that good for?
Shylock. To bait fish withal—if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
