Description

Running 1.1.4 and am getting the following error message when trying to import a feed:

Nick Cohen (http://www.nickcohen.net/?feed=atom): MagpieRSS: Failed to parse RSS file. (not well-formed (invalid token) at line 221, column 54)

The line in question is:

<summary type="text/plain" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[ VNS Essay - &#8216;Thatcherism&#8217;s triumph was double-edged. Union militancy pushed large sections of the middle class to the right. Now unions threaten no one and the main threat to middle-class interests comes from the rich&#8217;

Is the code not escaping something properly?

Same thing for:

Linux.org.uk (http://www.linux.org.uk/RSS.cs): MagpieRSS: Failed to parse RSS file. (not well-formed (invalid token) at line 181, column 93)

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to invalid.

There is a whole lot of broken feeds out there. Magpie requires xml feeds to be well-formed, there is no way around it.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with TT-RSS, if you feel it is actually parsing bug, not invalid feed, report it to upstream developers, but check the feed with feedvalidator.org first.
