Feed Management

App version

0.15.2

Reproduction steps
  1. Attempt to subscribe to itbrew or morningbrew
  2. a

Invalid XML: Error on line 1: At line 1, column
766: not well-formed (invalid token)

error will occur

It opens fine as a webpage and before that, there is a cloudflare verification page. Therefore, it might have to do with the app's inability to handle captchas implemented by the feed.

Thanks for your hard work maintainers!

Research direction

Reproduce the subscription attempt with the itbrew and morningbrew feed URLs and inspect the response received before XML parsing, especially the Cloudflare verification content. Trace where the invalid XML error is surfaced in the feed-management flow. Done means the supported behavior for these feeds is established and the reported parsing failure is resolved or clearly handled.
