[Rails] SimpleRss: Poorly formatted feed

[softwareengineer 99]

Hello,
  
  This is my code so far:
  
  begin
          @feeds = @category.feeds
          for @feed in @feeds
              rss = SimpleRSS.parse(@feed.url, true)
               # .. formatting code
          end
  rescue Exception => exc
          flash[:notice] = "R: #{exc.message}"
   end
  
  Any suggestions / ideas are greatly appreciated.
  
  Thanks
  Frank

  The code is:
  
            raise  SimpleRSSError, "Poorly formatted feed" unless @source =~  %r{<(channel|feed).*?>.*?</(channel|feed)>}mi
  
  However, I have even tried the example slashdot.rdf but to no avail?
  
  Any assistance is appreciated.

  "Poorly formatted feed"
  
  I have tried "well formatted" RSS 0.91, 0.92 and 2.0 feeds  but to no avail.
  
  Can anyone please come to my rescue? 
  
  Thanks
