Turn RSS feeds into browseable WebDAV resources with Zwind's RSS Projection Resolver.

What RSS Projection does

RSS Projection turns a feed URL into a WebDAV-style folder. Instead of opening a separate feed reader, you create a .rss marker file and let Zwind expose feed items as browseable resources.

When it helps

Use it for podcast-like feeds, video feeds, newsletters with media attachments, or any feed you want to browse from a file or media client.

Basic setup

  1. Create a text file ending in .rss.
  2. Put the feed URL inside the file.
  3. Place it under a Zwind server that has the RSS resolver enabled.
  4. Browse the marker file path as a projected folder.

The resolver output depends on the feed contents. Attachments, links, titles, and dates are reflected as resources where possible.
