We can't do it until we migrate the site off Sourceforge. Basically,
clicking that icon will generate the XML "under the hood"; what you
see on the output screen is just that - output, that you can copy and
paste somewhere.
We have no capability to write any files to disk dynamically - that
capability was removed from public projects 18 months ago. So what
we currently have is but a stopgap, until we move sites.
However, the DJ page *is* RSS-enabled (study the page source), so you
don't need to click the button to get your active bookmarks in
Firefox and other browsers that have integrated aggregation. Just
click the little orange button on the Firefox display and the browser
itself will take you through the steps.
The crawler programs don't need to click any buttons. As you see in
the page source, they call a chunk named rss.php, that generates the
XML they need. The button click also calls this chunk after it has
printed the XML to the screen.
If you know something about how to generate and publish a well-formed
XML file dynamically under conditions where one can't write anything,
we'd be very glad to hear about it. The only alternative we see at
the moment would be to generate such a file off-line and upload it
via SFTP, as we do with our other web objects. This is totally
self-defeating, of course, and we're not going to do it.
