Bug 189823

Works fine here. Could you please check whether the same thing occurs with
Rhythmbox 0.9.6 that was uploaded to the FC6 updates recently?

(Multimedia stuff moves quickly, and it would be better using the latest
distribution to use Rhythmbox properly).

Wireshark Capture of Rhythmbox

I'm running Rhythmbox 0.9.7 in Fedora Core 6 (amd64). When trying to add this
"http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/" podcast I got this error:

-- begin error --
"There was a problem adding this podcast. Please verify the URL:
http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/"
-- end error --

Whereas, I played the same podcast in amaroK, and there it played fine. I've
sumbitted the network packet capture of the packet when I added podcast feed to
my rhythmbox. It seems rhythmbox initiated the connection reset, without
receiving the complete podcast feed. BtW, I'm running on 128 Kbps ADSL connection.

There's problem indeed:
$ gnomevfs-cat http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/ > foo
$ wc -l foo 
1338 foo
$ wget http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/
$ wc -l index.html 
2157 index.html

The following program fails as well:
---8<--
#include <glib.h>
#include <libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs.h>

#define URL "http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/"

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
        char *contents;
        int file_size;

        if (!gnome_vfs_init ())
                return 1;
        if (gnome_vfs_read_entire_file (URL, &file_size, &contents) !=
GNOME_VFS_OK) {
                g_warning ("Couldn't read data from \"%s\"", URL);
                return 1;
        }
        g_message ("Read %d bytes from \"%s\"", URL);

        return 0;
}
---8<--

$ ./test 

** (process:14240): WARNING **: Couldn't read data from
"http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/"

Looks like a gnome-vfs bug.

Works fine in svn trunk of gnome-vfs, probably a neon/gnome-vfs bug, CC:'ing Joe.

A stock neon can process the GET response from that URL fine, I'd guess this is
either a gnome-vfs problem or some issue in the patched copy of neon bundled in
gnome-vfs.
