Hello all, I am trying to download the feed of http://blogs.forrester.com/feed but I am stuck with a problem.
>>> import feedparser >>> d = feedparser.parse('http://blogs.forrester.com/feed') >>> d.etag u'"1378291653-1"' >>> d.modified 'Wed, 04 Sep 2013 10:47:33 +0000' >>> feedparser.parse('http://blogs.forrester.com/feed', etag=d.etag, >>> modified=d.modified).status 200 When I am running this, should not this be 304 ( The content can't be change so fast in a moment or this server is not configured properly ). If I rely on this then whenever I run the code, I will download the content irrespective of content changed or not. Could some one please suggest me how to avoid the duplicate download ? The below one is working fine so if I try to download again then I will get 304 response since no data is changed on server. >>> d = feedparser.parse("feed://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/HP/MostPopular") >>> d.etag u'Vx5oxwMUzEFvFpd6BNR23912Zk4' >>> d.modified 'Wed, 04 Sep 2013 10:32:06 GMT' >>> feedparser.parse("feed://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/HP/MostPopular", etag= >>> d.etag, modified=d.modified).status 304 Thank you Mukesh Tiwari -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
