[bloggerDev] Re: Having trouble accessing rss files

Thanks,

I was using urllib2 through an addition api layer that I built my self
and the additional layer was adding an empty post by default. For
whatever reason, urllib2 uses POST if any post is specified even "{}"
and what I needed was "None". I didn't think it mattered but I guess
blogger only allows GET requests for rss feeds not POST.

Peace
