CGIFeed is a CGI program that reads news feeds (via XML/RDF/RSS) and prepares HTML pages for them.

You can enter new feeds through the Web page, and edit the name and update interval for each feed.

The Simple RSS Service (SRSSS) generates and serves RSS feeds through a common interface via CGI-enabled webservers. It uses modules to extract items for feeds from various sources, and has a virtual filesystem where feeds can be read by CGI-clients.
The package contains everything needed to start providing RSS feeds, including server and CGI programs, and has support for PostgreSQL, MySQL and MimerSQL.
Main features:
- Modular and clean design based on object oriented C++
- Resource-friendly functions that keeps the load down on web- and database-servers by only parsing data and generate new feeds when required, instead of at every request.
- Interface for run-time loading of modules for data-extraction
- A virtual filesystem stored in shared memory
- Feed extraction via CGI program for easy integration in any CGI-enabled webserver
- A trigger-system that allows external sources to trigger daemon software to fetch new updates
- Easy configuration via a configfiles
- Designed for easy integration towards SQL servers etc
- Support for NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux.
Modules:
These modules are currently available for RSS item extraction:
mod_pgsql
This module allows the RSS daemon (rssd) to extract items for RSS feeds from a PostgreSQL database. It can select an entire column as description field for the feed, or base it on a pre-formated string in which variables are replaced with values from columns returned in the SQL query.
This module also support triggering, where any client connected to the same database is able to trigger RSSD to fetch a new update via the SQL LISTEN and NOTIFY functions.
mod_mysql
This module integrates RSSD with the MySQL database, allowing it to produce RSS feeds based on any information stored in databases running on MySQL. The module allows the user to run just about any SQL query supported by the database to extract the needed information to create a feed.
Mod_mysql does also support pre-formated strings to generate the description for each RSS item it produces.
mod_mimersql
This module allows the RSS daemon to fetch items from the MimerSQL database.
The module allows the user to run just about any SQL query supported by the database to extract the needed information to create a feed.
Mod_mimersql does also support pre-formated strings to generate the description for each RSS item it produces.
mod_template
This is a template-module that can be used as a starting-point when developing new modules. It is usable, but does not really provide a usable feature.

It consists of one Perl script and a set of XSLT templates, which provide RSS, HTML and Javascript tools used to subscribe to RSS feeds without restricting them to a specific aggregator.

Instead, a dynamic list of aggregators is provided for the user to choose from. This list of RSS aggregators and how to subscribe to them is provided via several XML formats, so other tool developers can use them as well.
