I've seen this asked in past posts but the answers didn't really help me. I want to feed in an RSS in an XML format. It looks like this: 

<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>
<![CDATA[ GAA Latest Hurling News ]]>
</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ Latest news supplied by GAA.ie ]]>

<link>
<![CDATA[

......etc, etc, on down to the end.

What do I do with all of this? I've seen and tried Feeds, XML Parser, etc. but it seems like the module's configurations are looking for only a URL. Any help would be fantastic!

We basically use RSS to get newsletter from a site .You just create the rss and create a subscribe button which will link to this xml file, and browser will give you button to subscribe on that newsletter and to show data,in a organize manner etc,whatever is necessary.

Best you open this url: http://dir.yahoo.com/rss/dir/index.php in Firefox and click on any RSS button and see what happen. Now when you are in that page press Ctrl + U to see source and you can see similar format like given by you.

If you are using chrome then install "RSS Subscription Extension" to see how it works,because by default chrome treat this as XML rather then feed.

I am actually wanting to host a feed from another site on my site. So when I go out to this other site GAA.ie and click on the link, I get the code above instead of a URL. What do I do with that code to feed the content to my site?

You can use these modules if you want to import RSS feeds from another site to your Drupal installation: https://drupal.org/project/feed_import and https://drupal.org/project/feeds

I've tried; I guess I don't understand what to do with that long string of code. It seems Feeds/Feeds Import is looking for just a URL.... am I wrong? I've tried a few YouTube videos as well but can't figure it out.
