Initial Comment:
This is to address the problem I had with my installation 
of PHP not being able to open a URL.  How I got around 
it was to download the .xml file to my local hard drive 
via a crontab with wget, and to access the file using 
phpwsrssfeeds.

The problem I'm having is with your validation routine.  It 
looks for "http://" or "https://" and kicks out anything 
else that it finds.  It does not allow me to put in the 
filename so that it'll go right to the file and display it.

I had to go into RSS.php and comment out the validation 
routine, and everything works properly.

Would you be able to validate for "file://" (stripping off 
the "file://" after validation) or remove the validation 
routine completely so I don't have to hack the product 
every time there's an upgrade?

Thanks,
-Tony

PS: If you put the .xml file in your branch root, and just 
put the filename in as the feed URL, it works like a 
charm.

This was brought to my attention. Definately a design flaw.
I'll have this fixed soon. Most likely I'll have a checkbox
for designating local files.
