I understand the basic premise and mechanics of coding an XML/RSS feed. This reguires having an XML file though. Let's say, rss_test.xml

Now, they way I would subscibe to this RSS feed, is go to the location of this file on the webserver, like maybe http:rsstest.com/rss_test.xml

In my browser, it would detect the RSS feed and allow me to click the icon to subscribe to the feed.

How then, do sites like CNN.com push their feeds? I am not navigating to an XML file, but yet, my browser has located a feed from that main page and allows me to subscribe to it.
