Can't get feeds from SPIP CRM #46

Closed yldun closed 5 months ago

yldun commented 6 months ago

It seems every (French) feeds based on SPIP , an old French CRM, are not working.

For example :

https://orientxxi.info has a RSS flux here: https://orientxxi.info/?page=backend&lang=fr

Maybe related to this POST attributes.

This is an unfortunate consquence of the change here: https://github.com/gugray/rss-parrot/issues/14#issuecomment-1890476220

The Parrot removes all query parameters from the RSS feed's URL. The reason is because many sites allow an endless number of RSS feeds reflecting various sorted/filtered views of the same content, and this was polluting the feeds in the Parrot.

I'm adding exceptions to legit multi-user platforms that are large and have an unfortunate URL template relying on query parameters, e.g., Youtube.

I am not willing to do this for a CRM that thinks putting the RSS feed under ?page=backend is a good idea :( Please take it up with the CRM's developers. Any path works for the RSS or Atom feed as long as it doesn't depend on query parameters. E.g., /feed, /rss and /atom are all widespread and battle-tested options.
