Which URL specifically are you referring to? The orange "XML" icon and "(RSS 2.0)" links appear to point to the proper https:// URL, as I just verified on the View Tickets, Browse Sources, and Timeline pages. Is there another location RSS feeds are referenced?

This appears to be a Trac-related bug that was reported to their developers just today:

<http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/changeset/935>

Looks like they hard-coded "http:" into their XML.

Fixed by manual patching of the affected files. All RSS feeds should now generate "https://" URLs.

Now all links point to https://www.renaissoft.com/ but not to individual articles. That's not the expected behaviour, is it?

See TracRss. The Timeline and View Tickets feeds are intended to list the complete set of items, not specific entries. The Browse Source feed is the only one that's intended to be file-specific.

As a footnote, Thunderbird 0.8's RSS support doesn't like Trac's RSS, complaining that it's an "invalid RSS feed", probably because Thunderbird doesn't yet support RSS 2.0. The feed works fine with Firefox's Sage extension, though.

Okay, I think I see what you're referring to now. The RSS feeds do contain the full list of items, but the item links themselves don't seem to be correct for some reason, just pointing to https://www.renaissoft.com/. I'll take another look at the Trac code.

Fixed. Finally :)

yup, that's what I was trying to get at. :)
