I need an rss reader for viewing feeds on our Intranet. The only rss readers I've found can only read web based feeds. I want to place the rss reader within an <iframe> or <object> within my page.

What is the difference between a web based and a local feed? Any RSS reader should work with any kind of URL – Pekka
I've tried many rss readers and they will not read the feed I have, it is not published on the web and does not access it. And I know the feed works because I can load it in my browser. – sange
@Pekka: if the reader on the internet can't access the URL of the feed, like one that's on a local network, it won't work. – Kwebble
@Kwebble ah, now I see what he means. @sange can you use a server-side scripting language? – Pekka
I can use server-side Javascript. – sange

You need the RSS reader to be in the same zone as the feeds. So if you want a web-based RSS reader that can read feeds available on your company network, the web-based RSS reader also needs to be running within your network.

So if your feeds are delivered via:

http://mynetwork/feeds/feed.xml
http://mynetwork/feeds/feed2.xml

You could pop a web-based reader in the same place to display them all nicely...

http://mynetwork/feeds/reader/

If you want more help getting hold of a feed-reader that you can install on your network, please let me know what technology stack you are able to use.
