The above URL contains the following <link> tag:
<link rel="alternate"
type="application/rss+xml"
href="http://www.httprecipes.com/1/12/rss2.xml">
The href attribute of this tag tells us that we can find the RSS feed for the HTTP Reci-
pes site at the following URL:
http://www.httprecipes.com/1/12/rss2.xml
This recipe will show how to access the HTTP Recipes site, find the <link> tag for the
RSS Feed, and then download the RSS feed. This recipe is shown in Listing 12.6.
