Why does the Source It Tool not find a Feed when I can see the Icon?

Source It is a bookmarklet: a little app that runs in your browser and lets you grab bits of the web.  Once installed, you can just click it when you are on a web site and capture the RSS feed for the site.  Sometimes though, you get an error that a feed could not be found.  In a few cases, this will happen even though you can see the RSS feed icon on the site or the site has a link to its RSS feed.

Source It or Get It Display a Not Found or Error Web Page

When you first try out MyCurator, some clients find that the Source It and Get It tools display a “404 Not Found” page from their web site.  Another case is they display a “500 Internal Server Error” page.  In both of these instances, the cause is that the Get It or Source It tools are being blocked from operation by your host installation.
