I am using rome-1.5.jar for parsing RSS Feed. But when it parse some rss feed it gives an error of closing meta tag.
RSS Feed link : NewYork Times RSS Feed Link
here is the code
public static SyndFeed getRssFeed(String rsslUrl){
try {
URL url = new URL(rsslUrl);
HttpURLConnection httpcon = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
httpcon.addRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.76");
SyndFeedInput input = new SyndFeedInput();
return input.build(new XmlReader(httpcon.getInputStream()));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
Here is the exception
com.rometools.rome.io.ParsingFeedException: Invalid XML: Error on line 45: The element type "meta" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</meta>".

Is any I did wrong in this code. Please help me out to resolve this error.
The specified URL http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/index.html
does not return an RSS document.
There is content like:
<meta name="PT" content="Member Center"> <meta name="PST" content="RSS Page">
which an RSS processor will fail on.
That page is a listing of RSS feeds, not an RSS feed itself.
The first link is http://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml
: try passing that to your RSS processor.
