#7 Feature Request: EdgeWall's Trac RSS dialect does not work

[Shane Holloway]

We have recently switched to using EdgeWall's Trac
product for our project management system. We wanted
to monitor some of the RSS 2.0 feeds that come out of
that system using Pear. However, it has a slightly
non-standard RSS stream, and so we were wondering if
Pear's RSS parser could be a bit more flexable in order
to support that stream source?

You can find Trac's project at:
http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/

And an example problematic RSS feeed at:
http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/timeline?daysback=90&max=50&format=rss

If you choose to support this, you might want to send
them a message about being a "compatible RSS
newsreader" for their product. :)

Thanks for your time.

What problems do you have with it? Just that items are
marked as unread when you refresh, when in reality they
aren't new? Or something else?

Ah, I appologize for not being specific! When I ask Pears
1.7b16 to Add the RSS feed for
http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/timeline?daysback=90&max=50&format=rss
I get an error along the bottom that reads: "Error: this
feed was either not found or is of an invalid format". So
it never really gets added to the list of RSS feeds.

Funny, it works for me. I tried on two different computers.
Are you on Linux?

I'm running a Windows XP box, as is another friend of mine.
Neither of us have been able to view the RSS feed via
Pears. Since it works for you, I'll try to dig further into
the problem to hopefully find a traceback.
