           Summary: Error when using feed:// URIs

           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: akregator-devel lists sourceforge net
        ReportedBy: kde mrphlip com


Version:           1.2.9 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If you try to add a feed to akregator using a feed://-style URI, like feed://example.com/sample.xml, then akregator tries to download http:////example.com/sample.xml, which fails.

The "subscribe to this feed" button in Firefox uses feed:// URIs, so it can't be used with akregator directly... my current workaround is a shell script that replaces "feed:" with "http:" in the URI before running akregator, and using that script as the feed handler in Firefox.
