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.
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.
