_IECreate giving errors - Help!

[vij]

I have used IE UDF a bit before and had no problems, but it seems to cause problems with certain rss feed urls for some reason.

EX:

#include<IE.au3>
_IECreate("http://ragecraftrc.net/extern.php?action=feed&type=atom")

Gives this error

C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (561) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
While Not (String($o_object.document.readyState) = "complete" Or $o_object.document.readyState = 4 Or $f_Abort)
While Not (String($o_object.document.readyState^ ERROR

The url opens but with some lag.

Manually, the url opens quick and easy(with IECreate it opens but with a lag) - and screws up something with IE UDF

I am using Internet Explorer 10

Any idea?

The script works if I turn off "Feed Reading" within Internet Explorer options - ofcourse the feed page is then displayed as source code then - but doesnt hamper what I want to do overall.

Another work around to what I eventually want to achieve is using the Chilkat ActiveX component http://www.chilkatsoft.com/refdoc/xSpiderRef.html - that way I dont have to even open feed urls with IE.

Doesnt change the fact that something isnt right when you try to work IE UDF with feed urls.

View the page source ... you'll find that the web document is not HTML ... it is XML.

Thismay mean that the IE DOM is not being used and therefore the objects are non-existent.
