    Hello echicken!

    Was getting something funky when I added a new sub. I ran jsexec web_feed_importer.js locally... and this is what I got...

    C:\sbbs\exec>jsexec web_feed_importer.js

    JSexec v3.17a-Win32 (rev 1.184) - Execute Synchronet JavaScript Module
    Compiled Dec 10 2016 05:02:52 with MSC 1800

    Loading configuration files from C:\SBBS\CTRL
    JavaScript-C 1.8.5 2011-03-31
    JavaScript: Creating runtime: 8388608 bytes
    JavaScript: Initializing context (stack: 16384 bytes)

    Reading script from C:\sbbs\exec\web_feed_importer.js C:\sbbs\exec\web_feed_importer.js compiled in 0.00 seconds
    Unknown scheme! 'undefined'
    SyntaxError: XML tag name mismatch (expected hr)
    SyntaxError: XML tag name mismatch (expected hr)


    A: what is Unknown Scheme! 'undefined'
    B; what's with the Syntax Error

    and

    C: NOt sure why it won't connect to this page: SYSTEMUP = http://rss.uptimerobot.com/u393104-a7daeb14e4919ab941ba59354bf80355

    SYSTEMUP I have in the Main Folder...

    Thanks in advance..

    Bill

    http://rss.uptimerobot.com/u393104-a7daeb14e4919ab941ba59354bf80355

    So, I just did a test with that feed, and it imported fine for me. No errors.

    Unknown scheme! 'undefined'
    SyntaxError: XML tag name mismatch (expected hr)
    SyntaxError: XML tag name mismatch (expected hr)

    It's possible that there was an error on the other side (at the feed provider, Uptime Robot). That 'expected hr' bit indicates that the XML parser encountered an <hr> tag, which I wouldn't expect to see unescaped/unencoded in an RSS or Atom feed. My guess is that the parser was looking at one of their error pages (404, 500, 503, etc.), which wouldn't work too well.

    if I type that address into a browser... I get this..

    <rss xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" version="2.0">
    <channel>

    I did some mkore digging and found a bad link that was causing the problems. I removed them and poof... it worked.

    Thanks for help...

    Hi all

    I have setup web_feed_importer.js and the one that was there when I setup
    works fine + another one I added to the list.

    I have been searching for rss feed on the internet and I like
    to ask if you could list a few rss feed that I could use on my bbs
    just all topic and bbs stuff if any

    Thank you

    Here's what I'm using. Still playing with it. I try to find RSS feeds that have full article text, but they are harder and harder to find, especially with the news sites.

    LOCAL-HEADLINES = http://rss.cnn.com/rss/edition.rss,http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml
    LOCAL-POLITICS = https://rss.politico.com/politicopulse.xml
    LOCAL-TECHNEWS = https://www.techmeme.com/feed.xml?x=1,https://TechCrunch.com/feed/,http://feeds .arstechnica.com/arstechnica/index,https://www.theverge.com/rss/full.xml

    They generally want you to click through for the full story, so they can serve more ads and otherwise monetize your reading. RSS is still in use, but just isn't as good as it was 10+ years ago.
