...and same with feed/link rel=alternate removed

[Alta88 (alta88)]

this may be related, in the general 'not handling bad feeds' department..

the following XML error will cause all further (valid) subscription attempts to fail, requiring a Tb restart.

This also applies to 2.0 Beta 2 (on Windows).

Google Groups Atom feeds do not work, while RSS feeds do.

patch1

patch1: in parseAsAtomIETF, don't set a null aFeed.link; fixes subscribing to e.g. http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/feed/atom_v1_0_msgs.xml

patch2

...on second thought, patch1 is odd because the same courtesy is not paid to other nonrequired things in parseAsAtomIETF as they aren't susceptible to death by rdf; this instead nullchecks right before talking to rdf, i.e. Feed.item = null shall mean not setting one.

After a quick discussion with Guillaume, it appears that some feeds can be subscribed without problem and some are stuck on "Verifyng RSS feed".

Guillaume will try to locate the problem.

[Dean Sas (dsas)]

Are the feeds valid? Have you got example URLs?

[Guillaume D. (guillaumed)]

The feeds were valid, and it was an upstream bug.

As of now, it is not integrated on any Thunderbird release as it is fixed only on Mozilla's trunk, but the patch is trivial, so you may want to apply it:

Thanks for your time.

According to bugzilla this was fixed in version 1.8.1.2, feisty has 1.5.0.12, but gutsy has 2.0.0.6 as of this update. Since this has been fixed upstream and in gutsy I am going to mark this as closed.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

1.8.1.2 is not the version of thunderbird its the version of gecko, This is however fixed in both i believe thunderbird 1.5.0.12 is using gecko 1.8.1.4
