Best practices for headers when requesting feeds #240

Closed stoplion closed 6 years ago

stoplion commented 6 years ago

Trying to save bandwidth when requesting feeds. Is there a best practice with this library for handing last-modified headers (so RSS service return 304 status code and I can just use a saved feed instead) or A-IM headers for feed delta?

This library just parses the feed. Fetching it is left to you to handle the way that works for your use case.
