Well I'm thinking that instead of attempting to host the YUI script on your server (which you might be able to do, but I kind of doubt it - you may just have an encoding issue), you should be trying to connect with it on the SSL partition of the Yahoo server. Unfortunately, that appears to be down at the moment. But, once/if they get that fixed, you should be able to go with:
Code:
<!-- RSS FEED -->
<script src="https://yui.yahooapis.com/3.18.1/build/yui/yui-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/gfeedfetcher.js"></script>
<!-- /RSS FEED -->
instead of (what you currently have):
Code:
<!-- RSS FEED -->
<script src="js/yui-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/gfeedfetcher.js"></script>
<!-- /RSS FEED -->
But as I say, their SSL version of yui seems to be currently unavailable. It's not a 404 though, so there's hope. But there's no guarantee they intend offering an SSL version of yui.
The only other solution I can think of within the confines of this general approach would be a rewrite of the code to make use of their direct query method which does support SSL.
There are other feed scripts though, but they require PHP. If you do have PHP, they're relatively easy to port to SSL.
