What about content negotiation [1] based on the Accept header? If the client indicates a preference for HTML you could send it the human-readable page and otherwise you send the RSS feed. Wouldn't that work? [1] https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/en/content-negotiation.html https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/en/content-negotiation...

It can be done but it's not practical because most RSS readers don't even send an Accept header at all, let alone one with an XML mime type.

  But browsers do send the Accept header, so you could default to RSS for requests from other clients (such as RSS readers).
