I use JavaScript and Google AJAX Feed API to make one.

Please read and see the example in this blog post.

I prefer to fetch my RSS feeds for inclusion in HTML docs via a Perl script run by crontab, the feeds are saved to local text files on my server. My pages use the local versions. That way, should the spreadfirefox site go down or get slow and the RSS not be returned, my site continues using the last successful fetch.

I used to do it the same way mentioned here, but not only was my own site slowed down by the remote fetch run every time someone visits (if you get a lot of hits it becomes very noticable) If the remote site was down, the script would slow down the site and not return anything.

The way I have it now, if a fetch is not successful, the last successful fetch is used. Works great but not much good for people without crontab access. (Although there is nothing to stop you writing a script that only fetches the rss every 100 hits to your site, or 5 times a day or whatever, if you used such a system, you could likewise have it use the cached version if a fetch fails.)

Perler
Thanks for the script, now added to my site and it goes a long way to helping to convince others to try out Firefox.

It would be great to have the same for Thunderbird.

If you want to write < and > in your comments and topics you need to write &lt; and &gt; instead.

See you!

Is it possible to download the .cgi part to keep on my server? It takes too long to load for my limited patience.

Submitted by perler on Tue, 04/12/2005 - 12:49.

it's very similar to http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=node/view/13612
only the last line was changed:


#/usr/bin/perl
#Part of the SFx Blogware Project:
# simple RSS Reader for SFx Counter

use LWP::UserAgent;
use XML::RSS;

my $RSSURL = 'http://feeds.spreadfirefox.com/downloads/firefox';

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->agent("SFx Blogware/.01");

$response = $ua->get($RSSURL);
if (!$response->is_success) { die($response->status_line, "\n"); }

my $content = $response->content(default_charset => "UTF-8", raise_error => TRUE, ref => TRUE);

my $rss = new XML::RSS;
$rss->parse($content);

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "document.write('".$rss->{'items'}->[0]->{'description'}."')";

I have an ASP web site related to Firefox. All the information I found about the possibilities of accessing the XML Download Counter is that ASP could read and explore only XML local files, but not a URL as SFX RSS feeds suggests.
As Perl is much more powerful than Microsoft software, I am glad to have found your gracious Perl script.
I just add some javascript to my webpage to change commas to dots, because the portuguese page must show dots instead of commas.
Congratulations for your very usefull script, you saved millions of web designers who doesn't have Perl available on their servers! Now it's already working on my website, in English and in Portuguese.

Thank you !

People need Firefox to be immediately available when they want it, and
they need Firefox to react in a snappy manner, but has huge barriers to
overcome.
Since
IE is built into Windows, it launches pretty much instantaneously. 
When you open a new window, save an HTML file, close a window or tab,
it's all pretty much instant because it's tied in so close to Windows
and the Windows interface.
I use Firefox, but it does seem sluggish
when doing these things.  I know this is being worked on for Firefox
3.0, but to make an impression on users, and especially not to lose the
users we have gained, we need to make this improvement happen as soon
as possible, top priority.
What users want is an application that
behaves, that reacts to what they do, and that does what they want when
they want it.  When I see people using Firefox, they double-click the
icon, and then double-click it again because it hasn't launched. 
Sometimes they sex shopclick on a menu and they try dragging the mouse to
highlight a selection but fumble while doing so because the menus are
sluggish to draw on the screen, and they end up missing the option they
wanted.   When switching tabs, I see people double-clicking sometimes
because they think that's what they have to do, since the tab didn't
pop up fast enough when they single-clicked they just thought it didn't
work.
Firefox just needs to be a lot more responsive to the user. 
I'm sure Firefox has an extremely fast back end (we used to tout its
rendering speed vs IE's) but users need feedback as soon as they do
something in the UI.  If something isn't happening right away or the
user needs to wait for something to display, this delay should be
eliminated or masked somehow, and if this is impossible, the user needs
to be notified with some sort of progress indicator so they don't go
nuts.That reminds me of one other point, Firefox needs to be
multithreaded!  I can't count the times I wasn't able to switch tabs
simply because another tab was busy with something else.  This is just
frustrating.Users shouldn't ever have to think about what program
they're using, and they do a lot when it seems like they can't do what
they want when they want.  What good are all of the extra benefits of
Firefox if simple day-to-day web browsing seems sluggish, frustrating,
and non-responsive?  Firefox is a browser first and foremost, and needs
tosex shopconcentrate on making the actual
browsing the best experience.People originally wanted Firefox because
it wasn't bloated, it was lean and fast.  I'm not saying it's bloated,
it just  feels that way.I use Firefox daily
on Linux and Windows, and never thought I would stop, but lately I
consider just switching to Konqueror on Linux because it's more
responsivew
