I have been triying to connect to RSS Feed for a website but couldnt understand how to. I used Web connection but found out its just read data from that page.

Have seen just one previous similar post (which says its solved) but couldnt find a solution on it.

I would think that since RSS is just XML, you should be able to use the XML connector to connect to an RSS feed. I tested this and even though the XML connector brings up a file dialog, you can paste in an HTML link and connect to it successfully and expand its XML as needed.
