Howdy. I've mapped out today (Thursday) to hack on the feed parser here at work, and just wanted to tell folks whats on my plate, rather than just keep it as conversations between Kevin and I. Here is what I would like to achieve today:
* Roll in unit tests for Flickr and Yahoo Groups into TestProbeLocator
We really need to talk to Flickr about correctly implementing HTTP and RSS/Atom autodiscovery. They've been very bad about this ...
* Make Flickr support more robust (they support several different kinds of feeds, such as for tags, groups, etc., some which support autodiscovery correctly and some which don't)
I didnt' realize this when I did my first implementation.... thanks.
* Some of the unit tests won't run on Windows due to some file path expansion issues; I am going to try to fix these
Yeah... my bad ;)
* The autodiscovery code is a bit flaky, breaking when the attributes are in the wrong order. I want to fix this and improve the unit tests to be test more variations.
Could you come up with some unit tests for this? I think I came up with some and it passed all attribute ordering passes but you might be right.
There might also be some issues with Feedster and Topix support that I will take a look at today and tommorrow.
Topix is important. I asked Feedster to make their changes to their site but they seem lazy :-/
