Checklist

  • [x] I am using the latest version
  • [x] I checked, but didn't find any duplicates (open OR closed) of this issue in the repo.
  • [x] This issue contains only one bug. I will open one issue for every bug report I want to file.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Import the following OPML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<opml version="1.1">
  <head>
    <title>
      Feeder
    </title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <outline title="Speeds and Feeds" text="Speeds and Feeds" type="rss" xmlUrl="http://veridicalsystems.com/blog/feed/"/>
  </body>
</opml>

Actual behavior

News emits an error about not being able find feed links in the HTML page, despite the document's content being regular RSS XML AFAICS.

Expected behavior

The feed is correctly imported. I tried to figure out why this feed would be identifier as HTML but couldn't find a reason. Perhaps it's because the HTTP response headers do not contain a content type? Firefox seems to identify the file as HTML too when performing right click -> save link as.

Device info

  • Android version/Custom ROM version: Stock android 13.
  • Device model: Pixel 4A.

Seems to be valid: https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fveridicalsystems.com%2Fblog%2Ffeed%2F

Content type seems to be wrong though:

curl -sv http://veridicalsystems.com/blog/feed/ | grep Content-Type
