Cannot subscribe to RSS-Feed #5

Closed Kaligule closed 9 years ago

The blog ist on http://www.gewürzrevolver.de. I assume the error is because the umlaut ü in the domain. I was able to subscribe to it with feedly, though.

Yes, the cause is definitely the non-ascii character in the URL. It seems that the URI module for ruby only supports URLs with ascii chars.

I think the URI module can be safely replaced with the addressable gem, which supports internationalized domain names. This should be a quick fix.

It wasn't so simple after all :sweat_smile:

It should be fixed now. Unfortunately the feed for the blog at http://www.gewürzrevolver.de currently has no entries, but you can subscribe to it anyway. I've also subscribed to http://www.supportbär.de/ and http://bücher.ch/, and they work correctly. Perhaps you know of other examples of URLs with umlauts, I haven't found many.

The fix is not specific to URLs with umlauts, any internationalized URL (with non-ASCII characters) should be supported now.

Could you confirm if it works for you?
