hi,

I just tried to import some blogs using feedapi node processor. Every feed I tried worked fine until I tried to import a blogger.com feed that is filtered by a label - and the label contains special german umlauts:

This is an example I found:

http://jetztkunst.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/Jetztkunst%20Künstler

I always get the message: there are no news items in the feed (but there are - if you check with some other rss reader). Other feeds from the same blog without the umlauts are fine.

Any idea?

p.s.: I'm using simplepie.

yes I can! coooool!

so, i need to find the proper url encoding for the umlauts and i can import any of these feeds right now. excellent.

thanks again
m.

ps. where would i find a conversion table for future reference?

pps.: just out of curiosity: does it makes sense to build that kind of conversion into the module? or do different sites handle these kind of urls differently?

Well, FeedAPI should be able to handle this without any user interaction. I wrote a patch for this, but unfortunately it breaks simpletests. So it's not possible to commit the patch now.

DanielTheViking:
Do you experience the problem too? (or just moving the ticket up :) )
Because I cannot reproduce it now at all with the recent versions.
Maybe the feed behavior changed.
If you can reproduce the bug, do you use the same url? If not, what URL do you use? What version of FeedAPI do you use? I assume, it's not FeedAPI 1.0 :) Please arrange the ticket to the version that you really use.

It's not a problem to have accented characters in the URL anymore.
