Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

the links look like this:
http://addons.update.mozilla.org//moreinfo.php?id=431&vid=1408

notice the double slash after the domain.  it looks like it is missing the
update type ("extension", "theme", etc.).  the links on the web page
http://addons.update.mozilla.org/ are fine.  just fix the rss feed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://addons.update.mozilla.org/
2. add the rss feed listed on the page to your news reader
3. refresh the feed from your news reader
4. click on one of the updates

Actual Results:  
you get sent to a "Not Found" error ("The requested URL /moreinfo.php was not
found on this server...") screen.

Expected Results:  
launched the page where i can download the update that i clicked on from my news
reader.
Has this ever worked when type isn't provided?  The only version I see in LXR
requires typeName and the SQL query doesn't even pull type from the resultset.

I think type is provided with the record, it's just not showing up in the URL. 
For example, an item in the rss feed contains a <link> node with a value of:

http://addons.update.mozilla.org//moreinfo.php?id=431&vid=1408

...but the link should be:

http://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=431&vid=1408

Yes, I know you hate it when I do both at the same time.  This patch is for
trunk.	Branch will be more simple.

I don't have a copy of branch.  Here's the changes required.

rss/index.php:
$select = "SELECT DISTINCT 
main.ID, 
main.Name AS Title, 
main.Type,

rss/inc_rssfeed.php:
$types = array("E"=>"Extensions","T"=>"Themes","U"=>"Updates","P"=>"Plugins");
$listType = $types["$type"];

$itemtype = $row["Type"];

echo "      <link>http://$sitehostname/" . types["i$itemtype"].
"/moreinfo.php?id=" . $id . "&amp;vid=" . $vid . "</link>\n";

Pull in Main.type and reuse code

://$sitehostname/" . types["i$itemtype"]. "/moreinfo.php?id=" . $id .
"&amp;vid=" . $vid . "</link>\n";

i$itemtype?

+//echo "<!-- $sql --";
Fix that please

the rest looks ok.

patch coming up shortly.
Unbit rot patch and add WEB_PATH to the URL.

Well, sorry for submitting a dupe, but when I search for "rss" on the Update
component when preparing to submit a new bug, this one doesn't come up.  :/
