[RESOLVED] Do RSS readers recognize 301s?

[mendhak]

The title sums it up. You have yoursite.com/rss.xml and you change it to yoursite.com/rss9.xml. You create the redirect in your .htaccess, but do the most popular RSS readers recognize this and update their 'location' or do they just act like a bunch of Londoners being told that drinking is bad? (Blank expressions)

I imagine that this means that it doesn't happen that often. I suppose an appropriate reply for me would be to try it out myself. Just hoping for an easier way to find out.

They should. RSS readers are all HTTP clients, after all.

http://intertwingly.net/blog/911.html might be of reassurance. The article is astonishingly old, so I imagine the situation has only improved since then.

Apparently, you can also use an XML level redirect.
