"Bad URL hash" when consuming RSS feed from Instagram

eivindml commented 1 year ago

This is not stricly a problem with NetNewsWire, but probably in the way Instagram encodes it's image URLs. But it's a problem that NetNewsWire could help solve.

I'm generating an RSS feed from Instagram profiles, using rss.app. But the images won't display in NNW (see image below). The RSS feed encodes Item's like this:

  <item>
      <title><![CDATA[Organize necessary kitchen essentials with our practical, yet elevated hanger section configurations and our extra wide ...]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[<div><img src="https://instagram.fctt1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-15/349110281_798216604854018_7783414642952261956_n.jpg?se=7&stp=dst-jpg_e35&_nc_ht=instagram.fctt1-1.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=106&_nc_ohc=AwaWTSEctcYAX9JicY2&edm=ACWDqb8BAAAA&ccb=7-5&ig_cache_key=MzExMTA1NzU3MzU5MDY2NDE0MA%3D%3D.2-ccb7-5&oh=00_AfBrtlDn6ZY5CESTpDxuSEvZboUrCaoR7ddCl9hbxg5PBA&oe=6478C085&_nc_sid=640168" style="width: 100%;" /><div>Organize necessary kitchen essentials with our practical, yet elevated hanger section configurations and our extra wide shelf library modules to create space where it is needed.

If you copy the image URL and try to open it, it will just show "Bad URL hash".

But if the & is replaced with just a &, then the images opens fine.

Could NetNewsWire do an extra check to make sure images urls are encoded correctly?

I would really appreciate this, as I'm trying to interact less with Instagram, and to be able to subscribe to some feeds in NNW would really help in this transition.
