i don't know why i can't attach the file, so i describe it here:

i used MAXTHON browser, when i click the RSS button on the bottom, it report unsuport format, and with this in the RSS Feed window: 'URL: ​http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket//ticket/3828?format=csv'

i hope that its my mistake

Did you try with an alternative RSS reader? Do you get any details about the error?

sorry, I didn't use any other rss reader.

I snap a picture for detail, I think maybe the red cycle is the wrong place.

Where did you actually click (from which page)?

• 'format=csv' means that Trac was requested to produce a comma-separated value text file, not RSS.
• however, the ticket//ticket path seems to be another issue

This looks like a bug in the Maxthon browser. The links to "Download in other formats" all use server-relative links like:

<a href="/ticket/3828?format=csv">Comma-delimited Text</a>

It looks like Maxthon is incorrectly joining "/ticket/3828?format=csv" with the current URL. Please confirm that this works correctly in IE. Unless you can reproduce this with another major browser please close this ticket and file a bug report with Maxthon.

sorry for reply late.

i just make screen action SWF movie for this error detail, maybe it can describe what it happend.

you can download the swf file with this link:

The RSS URL in the Trac-generated page seems correct.

As mgood wrote, the trouble seems to come from your browser that concatenates

/ticket/3828?format=rss

to

http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket

whereas it should concatenate the relative path to the server root URL which is

http://trac.edgewall.org

With Firefox, if you hover the mouse cursor over the RSS Feed link at the bottom of the page a valid URL is displayed in the status bar - that is, ​http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/3828?format=rss.

What does Maxthon show in the status bar?

[anonymous]

display link is valid!

maybe this problem IS made with MAXTHON, whatever, thanks you all!

BTW: how can I close this ticket?

[Emmanuel Blot]

To close this kind of ticket (the issue is external to Trac), select "resolve as: worksforme", leaving the milestone field empty.

why you guys don't change the link like this

org:

/ticket/3828?format=rss

to

?format=rss

it works as well, and can fix this issue.

in this page, href:

http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/3828?format=rss

equals

?format=rss

isn't it?

NOTICE:

please follow this link:

​http://trac.edgewall.org/report/13

in this page, the rss alternate in MAXTHON is functional, and I compare this page's source code with others

this page: (http://trac.edgewall.org/report/13)

...
<link rel="alternate" href="?format=rss&amp;USER=anonymous" title="RSS Feed" type="application/rss+xml" />
<link rel="alternate" href="?format=csv&amp;USER=anonymous" title="Comma-delimited Text" type="text/plain" />
<link rel="alternate" href="?format=tab&amp;USER=anonymous" title="Tab-delimited Text" type="text/plain" />
...

others: (http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/3828)

...
<link rel="alternate" href="/ticket/3828?format=rss" title="RSS Feed" type="trac.ticket.Ticket" />
<link rel="alternate" href="/ticket/3828?format=tab" title="Tab-delimited Text" type="trac.ticket.Ticket" />
<link rel="alternate" href="/ticket/3828?format=csv" title="Comma-delimited Text" type="trac.ticket.Ticket" />
...

you can find the diffrence, i guess that is the point.

i will close this ticket later, this is not worksforme now

[Emmanuel Blot]

This is nevertheless an issue with your browser, as both syntaxes are valid.

[Matthew Good]

Please report this issue to the developers of Maxthon. While there may be other ways to make links to acheive the same effect the current ones are valid. There's little point in changing those links since this bug would affect many other sites, not just Trac. So, it needs fixed in the browser, not just a workaround for an isolated occurrence.
