problems with some rss feeds
by marteng69, Wednesday, March 01, 2017, 00:06 (2612 days ago)
Hello,
I am running selfoss on a shared web hosting server in a subdomain. Many feeds are already included but with two sites I am still struggling.
If I try to include http://www.forum.joomgallery.net/index.php?type=rss;action=.xml as source, I am able to save it as rss feed but when I want to update the feed I always get an Error 403 Forbidden.
Another problem is the rss feed from xda-developers.com.
I am not able to include the feed in selfoss. Is there a way to add a forum or thread from xda-developers as rss feed?
I tried several ways of rss feeds, but I still get the same error messages.
Kind regards
Martin

Hi,
If I try to include http://www.forum.joomgallery.net/index.php?type=rss;action=.xml as source, I am able to save it as rss feed but when I want to update the feed I always get an Error 403 Forbidden.
This source works for me just fine.
Another problem is the rss feed from xda-developers.com.
I am not able to include the feed in selfoss. Is there a way to add a forum or thread from xda-developers as rss feed?
I found the following feed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2
but it prints
Must be logged in to get external feeds.
and after I log in, it just shows
Forbidden
Not much we can do about it, you should write the forum support.

I still get an error message.
The complete error message is:
error loading feed content: cURL error 22: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden
Any ideas?

I found the same one, but got the same error messages.
In the xda-developers forums there are a lot of threads about the rss topic, but none has a solution.

What version of selfoss do you use and which spout? 403 is server error, joomgallery could be blocking you. If you use “RSS feed” spout you could try changing helpers/WebClient.php to use different user agent.

I won’t be able to help you with this. You will have to contact the fora admins.

I am using selfoss 2.16 and the standard "RSS feed" spout.
In which way should I change the helpers/WebClient.php?

No problem.
I will try to do this. But I have only little hope after reading a lot of threads at xda-developers.

Replace
return $userAgent.' ('.implode('; ', $agentInfo).')';
with something like
return "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0";
(the user agent of a browser, that displays the feed correctly)

I replaced the line, but the error remains. Then I changed the FF version from 54.0 to 51.0 but it is still not working.
Any other ideas?

Other than the site blocking your server, I have no idea. You might want to contact the admins and ask them about the feed.
