error loading RSS url

I'm trying to load 4 rss feeds from my website but i get this error.The link for the rss feed is like domain/rssAds.aspx?cat=a . For the rest of the feeds all I do is changing the a letter to c or t or m . A, C, T, M are categories on my website. Any idea why I'm getting the error?

Have you look at the raw-data provided by the RSS feed? a) visit the URL in Firefox (not Safari) b) Load the URL c) From the menu 'View Source' Is the data valid RSS data? Is it formatted like the app expects? The output needs to be standard RSS data. Goole 'rss format' if you're unsure what that means.

Hi David, as far as I know the output is standard RSS, version 2.0. What is the format the app is expecting?If you have time, you can check the link: http://www.heima.ro/rssAds.aspx?cat=a . I even check it using a rss validator on w3c site. They say is valid.

Hi again in Romania (AWESOME!). The RSS URL you posted does look good so this is probably not the problem. a) What is the app name b) Android or iOS? Must be something simple.

Hi... GOT IT. Took forever but I finally was able to figure this out. Your Screen Properties for the RSS feed had: http://www.heima.ro/rssAds.aspx?cat=a However, when I loaded it in the address bar (regular browser on my computer) it switched to: feed://www.heima.ro/rssAds.aspx?cat=a Notice the feed:// instead of the http:// It looks like this URL is redirecting to another URL on the RSS server. So, I visited your control panel and changed the RSS URL from http:// to feed:// and it works. I did not check the other addresses for the other screens in the app.
