Google News RSS requires a user agent for access

XMLWordPrintable

      It seems that Google News RSS is forbidden to requests which don't specify a user agent (cf. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=158575&threshold=1&commentsort=0&tid=217&tid=149&tid=1&mode=thread&pid=13285426#13286792). It would be good if the

      {rss}

      macro could add a user agent to the request to enable Google News RSS access.
