Some Feeds not Read #21

Closed TedTschopp closed 7 months ago

I use a service out there to translate my Steam Achievements into an RSS feed. However when I ask the bird to turn this into an account online, the bird can't find anything. I'm not really all that interested in getting this feed uplifted into Mastodon, however I will say that the feed is valid, however I suspect the server is blocking the bird from reading the RSS feed. I thought I'd bring it up. Here is a link to the feed that is clearly a feed, but the bird is blind to.

Feed: https://truesteamachievements.com/friendfeedrss.aspx?gamerid=90878

Thanks for bringing this up! Something in the network between the birb and your server is blocking the request. This is what I'm seeing in the log:

2024-01-09 22:40:24.577 INFO <logic/feed_follower.go:425> Retrieving site information: https://truesteamachievements.com/friendfeedrss.aspx? 2024-01-09 22:40:24.612 WARN <logic/feed_follower.go:191> Failed to get site: request for https://truesteamachievements.com/friendfeedrss.as

Hope that helps.

If you find something specific in the birb's request that could change to prevent them from getting rejected, please let me know! For now I'm marking it as not-an-issue.
