kde-look compat rss feed broken
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

we have
http://www.kde.org/kde-look-content.rdf
which somehow gets redirects (T3609) to https://www.kde-look.org/rss/kde-look-content.rdf which in of itself is invalid breaking backwards compat

Okay, I don't know if I understand this issue in a right way.
But what we could do from our side:

In the current situation, when I call "http://www.kde.org/kde-look-content.rdf" I get a redirect (301) to "http://store.kde.org/content.rdf".
I'm not sure that this is the right behavior, because most of the rss feed readers (as far as I know) can't work with this kind of redirect.

@alexanderschmidt Thanks. I think those steps should restore backwards compatibility.

@bcooksley thoughts on the 301 supportedness? I am guessing http://www.kde.org/kde-look-content.rdf only ever was used by Akregator, so I guess we only care if it supports 301 redirects.

The problem is that we use curl, which doesn't follow 301's to mirror that file, so we get a basic HTML page saying we're being redirected, but no redirect code is returned.

I've now fixed kde-look-content.rdf to download the http://store.kde.org/content.rdf file instead.

However in total we have all of these which are mirrored:

dot/kde-apps-content.html
dot/kde-apps-content.rdf
kde-files-content.rdf
kde-look-content.rdf
kde-look-discussion.rdf
kde-look-news.rdf

These all came from various OpenDesktop.org sites - question is what their contents should be now. Empty files / something else?

kde-look-content.rdf -> seems fixed as in comment above

kde-files-content.rdf -> is now merged with store.kde.org, so could be fixed like kde-look-content.rdf to download the http://store.kde.org/content.rdf file instead

kde-look-discussion.rdf, kde-look-news.rdf -> both types are deprecated, as we have no more extra news section nor group discussions

dot/kde-apps-content.html, dot/kde-apps-content.rdf -> no longer valid, the url kde-apps doesnt exist as standalone anymore

I've adjusted kde-look-content.rdf and kde-files-content.rdf to be mirrors of store.kde.org/content.rdf now.
The files kde-look-discussion.rdf, kde-look-news.rdf and kde-apps-content.rdf are now empty ATOM/RDF feeds.

Great, will close this now then.
