Hi.

I'm having some trouble with nnrss. 

If I hit `B <ret> nnrss <ret>', I get the nnrss URL prompt. 

I'll enter something like:

http://boingboing.net/rss.xml <ret>

If I answer 'n' to "fetch extra categories? ", then I'm dropped into
an empty gnus-browse-server buffer. The message log indicates:

Connecting to http://boingboing.net/rss.xml...
Reading active file...done
Connecting to http://boingboing.net/rss.xml...done

I'm not even sure that it's connecting to boingboing, much less
reading the rss file. Why? If I /don't/ enter a URL, and just say 'y
to "fetch extra categories? ", I get:

Connecting to ...
Opening nnrss server...done
Reading active file...
Contacting host: w.moreover.com:80
Reading active file...done
Connecting to ...done

.../et voila!/ Something actually shows up in the buffer:

<snip>
K      0: Companies.Boeing news
K      0: Companies.Caterpillar Inc news
K      0: Companies.Citigroup news
K      0: Companies.Coca-Cola news
<snip>

Do you know how I might diagnose this? It might be a problem with one
of the support libraries on which nnrss relies, in which case, I'd
probably have to do a step-by-step trace.

Thanks in advance,

--Joe

P.S.: If Shenghuo Zhu is on this list, please accept my compliments for
      implementing another reason to never leave gnus.
