I couldn't find a good, free RSS feed manager, so I wrote my own in Delphi 7 a few years ago. To assist with implementing Xibo digital signage at an elementary school, I was updating my RSS feed generator written in Delphi XE:
I had to modify the program to get the RSS feed from an URL (instead of using FTP). A quick Google search "delphi xe save file from url" and found this gem from StackOverflow. I thought it would be a quick fix, but I forgot the phrase "I imported the type library for WinHTTP, " I eventually figured out how to do this and I was up and running quickly.
This is why real developers use Delphi to code real apps! It's a lot more productive than using C++ or Java!
