It's much more likely that they started blocking NC news/your IP. |

Yes, that's it! I can confirm that running wget with that user agent produces a Bad Request error. I wonder why they blocked that... |

Probably too many requests... |

I thought having many readers was a good thing? Anyway I've emailed DistroWatch asking why they're blocking NextCloud-News user-agent. |

I got a quick reply from Jesse (DistroWatch):
My NC-News settings were set to check for updates every hour, although I now changed it to 24h interval (I usually only check news once a day, so no need for hourly updates). Does anyone know what's the default update time for Nextcloud News app? |

The default update interval is 3600s / 1h. news/lib/AppInfo/Application.php Line 62 in 2baee21 |

Explain the Problem
What problem did you encounter?
For a few weeks now that Distrowatch feed stopped updating. Logs show a 400 Bad Request error.
News feed URL is: https://distrowatch.com/news/dw.xml
The feed URL is correct and opening it in the browser seems to be working fine.
Thunderbird is able to open and process/download the feed just fine as well.
Steps to Reproduce
Last successful sync for this fee was 9 weeks, but I only noticed it recently.
9 weeks ago I was still running Nextcloud 22 (not sure which News version). I update apps regularly, so not sure if there was an update of the News app when this started happening...
I've updated Nextcloud to 23 yesterday, but problem persists.
Problem only happens with this feed.
I tried to re-add the feed, but it fails as well.
Could this somehow be related to issue #678 ?
