				<title>RSS to GeoRSS service is down </title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi, I'm new here.

Just wondering whether the RSS to GeoRSS service is down. I typed the following URL in my browser (Safari) <span class="genmed"><b>Code:</b></span><br>
		<div style="overflow: auto; width: 100%;">
		<pre>http://ws.geonames.org/rssToGeoRSS?feedUrl=http://today.reuters.com/rss/worldNews</pre>
		</div>
but got the following source <span class="genmed"><b>Code:</b></span><br>
		<div style="overflow: auto; width: 100%;">
		<pre>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?&gt;
&lt;geonames&gt;
&lt;status message="java.net.UnknownHostException: today.reuters.com" value="12"/&gt;
&lt;/geonames&gt;</pre>
		</div>

Is there anything wrong?

I have also tried to url-encode the feed string to: <span class="genmed"><b>Code:</b></span><br>
		<div style="overflow: auto; width: 100%;">
		<pre>http%3A%2F%2Fnewsrss.bbc.co.uk%2Frss%2Fnewsonline_uk_edition%2Fworld%2Fasia-pacific%2Frss.xml</pre>
		</div>
but it still doesn't work.

Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks.  :(]]></description>
