[Mod] RSS Feed Poster

thanks a lot !

i set up the mod and got everything working

a tip for cron job troubles - i used wget and the url of the feed and that worked in cpanel -
for my windows machine i got a gnu wget for windows and set it up in task scheduler to do the same thing

i just grabbed some test links and they all work fine but this one

http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=2

looks ok in web browser but when i try to set it into the edit feed

i get this error
XML error: syntax error at line 1

funny - if i put a space in front of the url - then it pauses for a few seconds then finishes without error but i get no feed from that url when the cron fires - i do not see any errors in the logs

is the edit attempting to verify the feed at the time i submit it and it is showing this error from trying to parse the return data ? if so i wonder why browsers can retrieve with this url with no trouble

double funny - i have this set up on two web hosts using cpanel and on both of those i have this error - but i have it set up on my home windows 2008 computer and the url works fine as it is -

i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the feed poster mod

i changed the field in the database and now it should be right - problem is - if i try to edit that feed - without making any change to it - i get the error again

the field in the db has the right url in it but the mod is not retrieving the feed for that url on the two web host smf installs - it is retrieving the other urls though

the smf install on my local windows machine is retrieving the feed with the same url and i don't get error when i edit that url

i don't see any errors in the log - maybe there is a different log somewhere

i can't figure why i would get the error on the two smf installs on the web host but not on the local windows install -

i am a c++ and c# programmer but ii don't know how to debug php so i am stuck for now

i looked at the code a little bit and decided to try different download methods

i found that ONLY if i choose curl then i don't get any error when i edit that feed

i am getting feed posts on other url items so it is working for that but i haven't gotten one for the one item in question yet

i just got version 3.0.4 and still
i am not getting feeds for those two urls that are on the web hosts site
still getting xml error when i edit them
