Re: [hobbit] Viewing bb2.rss with Firefox livebook mark

[John Glowacki <johng (at) idttechnology.com>]

I found why this is failing. It is missing "http://hobbitserver/";. It 
works if I change the <link> lines from this:
<link>/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=servername&amp;SERVICE=msgs</link>

to this:
<link>http://hobbitservername/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=servername&amp;SERVICE=msgs</link>

I created a patch. I hope I did this right. Anyway it seems to work for me.
