Re: [Magpierss-general] Unable to parse ESPN NFL feed

[Tim N. <mag...@ib...>]

I hit a similar problem with ESPN and tracked it down  to a bug on 
ESPN's side.... They don't handle the HTTP not modified since request 
and return a broken page when asked :-/ Try turning the Magpierss 
caching off and see if that solves the problem.
