A short script that tests parsing none

Description Paul Sand 2013-03-19 12:22:52 UTC 
Created attachment 712616 [details]
A short script that tests parsing

Description of problem:

XML::Feed 0.50 fails to parse some valid feeds

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.50

How reproducible:

Attempt to parse a valid feed

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to parse a valid feed
2. Watch the parsing fail.
3.
  
Actual results:
"Error parsing feed: Cannot detect feed type"

Expected results:
(Successful parse)

Additional info:
An example feed that can't be parsed using 0.50: http://drboli.wordpress.com/feed/

I'm attaching a short script that tests parsing. Removing the Fedora 18 0.50 RPM and installing 0.52 from CPAN causes things to work better.
Comment 1 Iain Arnell 2013-03-20 11:21:38 UTC 
It looks like that site is doing user-agent sniffing and blocks access to "libwww-perl". Running "curl -ILA libwww-perl/6.03 http://drboli.wordpress.com/feed/" gives a 403 Forbidden error, but "curl -IL http://drboli.wordpress.com/feed/" is okay. The only change in XML::Feed 0.52 is that user-agent is now set to "XML::Feed/0.52" which gets past the site's filter. I've submitted builds for f17 and f18 that should be coming to testing repository soon.
