Valid RSS throws error

[stndrf]

I try to add https://www.exploit-db.com/rss.xml which is according to Feed Validator a valid RSS Feed, but when i try do load it with feed2js i get this error:

HTTPS case
Feed URL missing, incomplete, or not valid. Must start with http:// and be a valid URL

HTTP case

Error: Feed failed! Causes may be (1) No data found for RSS feed http://www.exploit-db.com/rss.xml; (2) There are no items are available for this feed; (3) The RSS feed does not validate.

Please verify that the URL http://www.exploit-db.com/rss.xml works first in your browser and that the feed passes a validator test.

Sorry about that. The site runs on an RSS parser library that might be 15 years old. I ran it through the debugger and the error it throws is

Warning: MagpieRSS: Failed to fetch http://www.exploit-db.com/rss.xml (HTTP Error: Bad curl (/usr/bin/curl), can't fetch HTTPS)

That might be a server issue for @bateller to verify.

It seems as though https://www.exploit-db.com/rss.xml is only served through a secure connection (http redirects to https).

And for whatever reason Feed2JS only supports http (un-secure) protocol.

This is obviously a problem.

I will look at getting this fixed and pushing an update ASAP.
