This is a really strange bug. I'm trying to import the Feed from Twitter and map it to Drupal nodes (for example the feed provided here: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23iphone). Everything works fine, but there seems to be a caching problem, because the update is run actually only like every two hours. Even when I refresh the feed manually, new items aren't being imported. I have to edit the feed, make a minor change to the url of the feed and then refresh again -> new items are being imported instantely. I think there is some caching problem, but I just can't figure out where it is...

Which parser are you using? Does your feed update its HTTP headers properly? etag? modified headers?

I'm using the simplepie processor. Since we need the module to work by tomorrow I quickly wrote a simple Module that does the job. It just seemed that there was some weird caching...

Try common syndication parser to find out whether it is a simple pie specific problem.

drupal 6.12
host: dreamhost.com - just in case a php ver update issue

I suddenly starting getting as well on new and older sites, however I woke this morning to find new feed items, so I started to think it was the refresh msg

yes? no?

[edit]

was able to track this a little deeper.

It appears only my feeds from yahoo are not working, I have a little time , will try to provide more details latter

For SimplePie Parser, now you have a cache lifetime option.
