Does not work with RSS feed with the '&' character in the URL
Reported by Tyler | February 13th, 2009 @ 03:44 AM
Wp-o-matic does not with RSS feed with '&' character in the URL, this is because wp-o-matic convert the '&' to '&' when sending the URL to the feed web server.
For example,
http://somedomain.com/rss.php?ca...
get convert to:
http://somedomain.com/rss.php?ca...
This converted url will be rejected by the server because the '&' is not part the URI specification.
Encoding '&' to '&' is only for displaying in HTML (HTML encoding)
'&' is a valid entity in URI specification and should not be further encoded when sending to server to fetch the feed.
Thanks.
