Found this, through a post in Robert Scoble’s blog. Feed43 scrapes web pages and generates RSS feeds. Feed43 seems to have disappeared. So I updated this entry to remove Feed43 info and substitute it with DapperFox.
DapperFox is a Firefox extention that sits next to the RSS icon in your browser.
Whenever you visit a website DapperFox will show you RSS feeds that other people have created, as well as allow you to create a new feed to share with the community. This is perfect when a site does not have its own RSS feed, or when its feed doesn’t meet your needs.
This is great. This will make more information available through RSS. About a year ago, we released a version of InfoMinder generate RSS feeds from web page changes.

Sorry. Looks as if they are gone. The link I provided does not work either. I found this while Googling for “web page to rss”

Tested it and it works fine.
Here is another (I have not used this):

I updated the post since there seem to be others still accessing it. I added DapperFox, a firefox extension. It works.
There are some features I would like to see. They probably exist already. I will explore a bit and post.
how can i convert a website where the posts are password proteted to RSS. Note that I have the legal permission and of course the password.
@harry – Have you tried using the tool after logging in?
