Trying this again with a different title. Maybe someone will answer now.

The sites we build at my company often have blogs, and we sometimes like to show excerpts from the blog feeds on the homepages. In the past I have used jQuery and the Google Feed API with great success to access the blog RSS and display the excerpts. But recently we changed our dev/QA URL schema, and now I can't get the RSS feeds to load on our test sites.

Our dev/QA urls look like this now: sitename.dev.aztekhq.com or sitename.qa.aztekhq.com. The blog feed is always /blog/syndication.axd (we use BlogEngine.NET).

I am using https://github.com/sdepold/jquery-rss for the jQuery plugin to the Google API.

What I have determined through testing so far:

  • Loading a feed from a live blog works. Loading from a dev or QA site does not. This has been determined both on sites I am developing and also through the Google Feed API playground, so I know it's not something I did wrong with the script.
  • I can access the dev/QA feeds through my browser, and I can also subscribe to them using an RSS reader, so I know the feeds are working.

Is it because of the way our dev/qa URLs are structured? I'm kind of at a loss here. I hope this is clear. If not, I can provide more information
