A ‘Fetch now’ URL feature added #103

Closed SkyCrawl closed 8 years ago

SkyCrawl commented 8 years ago

I have Coldsweat running on a NAS to synchronize several Fever-enabled client devices in local network. For some reason, I couldn't get it to automatically fetch all feeds in the configured time interval so I added a simple web-based (in practice browser-based) override. Also, it wasn't too comfortable for me to SSH into the machine to be able to force fetching all feeds at a certain time. This feature aims to offer an alternative and more user-friendly solution which you might be interested in integrating as well :).

My version is oblivious of user accounts (fetches all feeds) and login is not required before the operation is performed since I don't need that, but should you decide to integrate something like this, I think those properties shouldn't be absent. Behaviour and details should be apparent from the changes.

Thank you for your PR.

I would like to have a similar feature but to do it well isn't trivial. I would like to have some proper UI to start feeds refresh and give feedback to the user - at a minimum Coldsweat should update the unread view when the fetch process is finished. Not a 10 minutes job for sure.
