For whatever reason, IBM uses https (without requiring credentials) for their RSS feeds. I'm trying to consume https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/roller-ui/rendering/feed/gradybooch/entries/rss?lang=en with a .NET 4 SyndicationFeed. I can open this feed in a browser and it loads just fine. Here's the code:
using (XmlReader xml = XmlReader.Create("https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/roller-ui/rendering/feed/gradybooch/entries/rss?lang=en"))
{
var items = from item in SyndicationFeed.Load(xml).Items
select item;
}
Here's the exception:
System.Net.WebException was unhandled by user code
Message=The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

How do I configure the reader to work with an https feed?
