Greetings and thanks so much for the quick response to my last issue!

I am trying to import my RSS feed to Outlook and am getting an error...
at https://knightsofthegrailcode.com/kgc-blog?format=feed&type=rss I click on "Subscribe to this feed using [Microsoft Office Outlook] and I get the following (see image)

It is causing an error stating "Outlook cannot download the RSS content from http://https:/knightsofthegrailcode.com/kgc-blog?format=feed&type=rss because of a problem connecting to the server."
Hi Rick,

Sorry for late reply to this,

To be honestly, I didn't use this way to import RSS feed in outlook yet.

May i know how to reproduce this? Is it possible provide us step by step so that we can test this in my locally?

Also, please provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can check on this issues.

Steps:
1. go to https://knightsofthegrailcode.com/kgc-blog/entry/renewable-energy-security
2. click subscribe via rss in upper right
3. where it says 'subscribe to rss using...' use the drop-down box to select microsoft office outlook
4. click subscribe now
In firefox I get the issue discussed above...
In safari I get an xml version - no ability to actually subscribe
... please let me know when you are finished as there is more work I would like to do at the website and I don't want to be working on anything that will compromise what you're doing.
I may just take the rss feed option off if it becomes too complex an issue

Hello Rick,

Are you using some sort of plugin to render this on Outlook? It certainly does seem like the plugin is faulty because if you look at the link shown in the screen shot here, http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-03-28_0209.png it's actually correct.

No sir... no plugin. I just click on it and it brings up my outlook. - very strange.
Well... like I said... don't spend a lot of time on it... I think maybe I'll just deactivate it since it doesn't seem to work on Chrome either. It's really no big deal for my site.

Hello Rick,

Our component doesn't have the integration with Outlook. If you have other issue with Easyblog, do refer back to us.
