RE: Notification events for google searches - searchalert.net

I believe the

content-type

header does the trick... this looks like nice work, Mike!

searches - searchalert.net


I added support for BloggerAPI last night. So www.searchalert.net supports
sending MetaweblogAPI, BloggerAPI, plain text and RSS 0.91.
Weird thing - BloggerAPI doesn't have a slot for 'title' of the post. Lots
of inane excuses from Pyra why they don't support MetaweblogAPI. Dude - its
just text....

Next step - point a bunch of search results at a mod-pubsub hosted topic &
figure out what text format to send for a list of links with titles. NOt
sure if XML is appropriate for the level of clients typically connected - is
there a standard header to indicate content-type of a message?
