[Feedreader-development] Two problems with Feedreader.

[Toomas T. <to...@i-...>]

There are two bugs in Feedreader, that need to be addressed.

1. If feed has no dc:date field, then datetime is generated by 
feedreader and it will be current datetime. Problem is, that if there is 
10 new headlines for example, then they all get the same datetime value 
and if they are displayed in listview, then sort order is quite weird. 
It would be nice to have the last headline on the top and so on... I 
currently do no have any ideas, how to fix this. Maybe we should add 
milliseconds to datetime field internally by feedreader? After all this 
date field is interpreted as string in feedreader.

2. There is a problem with ExpandEscapes function what is used by 
html2normal function, for example. If we give html to  html2normal :

---------------Example from www.scripting.com/rss.xml---------------
<a 
href="http://rss.com.com/2100-1025-998465.html?type=pt&part=rss&tag=feed&subj=news">News.Com</a>: 
"The Webby Awards, the Internet community's biggest annual event, has 
become a non-event this year."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then function returns incorrect html string (sorry, i cant show it 
here). And then we give this incorrect string to html2text function, 
then this function will not return and procedure will halt...

At the moment i have removed html2normal function from some problematic 
places in function parsehttpstream

It's best, then you subscribe to scrintingnews rss...
