Reader Notifier aims to supplement the official Mac Notifier menubar plugins for OS X, in adding support for Google Reader. Reader Notifier tells you when you have new unread rss/feed items available, and lets you visit those feeds without ever going to the Google Reader interface.

Unable to login correctly #3

From today, Reader Notifier is broken.

While i've figured out whats wrong, my knowledge doesn't extend to fix it.

Basically, when it reads the ATOM feed for new posts, its getting the login page HTML, rather than valid XML, which results in an XMLError, (the code to show an error when this happens is commented out, hence why it hangs on updating)

Login seems to work and loginToGoogle contains a valid SID cookie, but for whatever reason, that isn't working anymore.

Maybe google now require another header to be set or something?

I had a similar problem on my forked version, and I solved it by not adding any header at all in the requests (so you don't send the SID in the Cookie header anymore), this seems to fix it, but I am not sure if this is the right way to do it, bit it just works again. I am not sure that this is what you need to do also here, in fact I am using json to get the new posts and not xml.

I am having the same issue for days now, is there any way to download a fixed patch for this? or anyone share a forked version that does?

lgladdy commented 14 years ago

Yeh, check out godenzim's fork (click his name above). He's made something called Google Reader Reloaded which uses the JSON API rather than XML - the only annoying thing with that one is that the system bar menu layout has changed, meaning i keep "open all items" instead of "mark all as read" - but you'll get used to it :)

sweet, just tried it. Works like a charm. Thanks a bunch guys for the fix and the tip ;)
