RSS Proxy - RSS Feed modifier, which can extend existing RSS feeeds RSS Proxy is a useful, free and small application which I made because RSS feeds sometimes have this 'problem', everyone who ever used RSS feeds knows what I am taling about. Those RSS feeds who only publish the first couple of rows of an article, to lure you to their site. Well I hate that and for me it completly beates the purpose of RSS feeds.

So, what does RSS Proxy do? Well it can do a couple of things :

* It can copy a RSS feed from anywhere on the web. This way you can keep as many items in the feed as you want.
* It can 'extend' a RSS feed. This is the best feature, because it can visit the url specified in the RSS feed and 'scrape' some text of that page. This way it can replace the (normally shortened) text in a feed with the full version only available on the site itself.
* It can generate a so-called OPML file, so you can easily import your added feeds to your RSS reader.

RSS Proxy functions as a webserver hosting the generated/customized feeds, this way you can still use your favorite RSS reader. Also, the option to completly create a custom RSS feed will be added in the near feature. This way you can create RSS feeds of sites which don't even have RSS feeds available.

Requirements:
.NET Framework 2.0


What's New in This Release:
Added option to override URL in OPML file, this way you can customize your OPML a bit more.
Added option to change the directory where the feeds are saved. It can use 2 variables "%ApplicationPath% which represents the directory where the executable is, and %MyDocuments% which represents your My Documents directory. Default directory is "%ApplicationPath%datafeeds"
Added a nice info panel below the feed list, with some summary information.
Added an installer (again). This installer also contains the example configuration, but will only install it if there is no config file present. The Installer will also check for .NET framework 2.0. When this is not present it will ask you if you want to download it.
Added a check, when RSS Proxy is already running, you can't start it again.
The OPML file is now also saved in the feeds directory. This way it can also be saved to a custom directory.
Added the number of items in a feed to the config file. This is just to make the info panel work better (see bug fixes)
Fixed bug where item count for feeds was unknown when program started.
