           Summary: Akregator does not seem to hande initial Byte Order
                    Mark in RSS files
           Product: akregator
           Version: 1.6.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: feed parser
        AssignedTo: akr...@li...
        ReportedBy: te...@ma...


Version:           1.6.5 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

Suddenly Akregator stopped accepting the feed 
http://www.dn.se/huvudnyheter-rss
reporting 'Could not read feed (unknown format)'.

Looking at the file it seems that it now has an initial Byte Order Mark
(U+FEFF). This is something an UTF-8 encoded XML file may have (according to
the XML standard) and therefore should be allowed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Add http://www.dn.se/huvudnyheter-rss to feeds.

Actual Results:  
The feed becomes marked with a red square with a white cross and the above
message is reported when cursor is put over the feed.

Expected Results:  
The feed should be working.

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.35-24-generic
Compiler: cc
