Use original feed URL

Open filips123 opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Livemarks currently redirect feed URL to extension URL. This is not good because it can be confusing and back button sometimes don't work (redirects to same page). It will be better if feed viewer would directly change the feed XML file and display viewer. It should works the same that old Firefox RSS viewer does.

Also, add support to view raw XML file.

For example, if I open https://projects.filips.si/feed.xml, page will be redirected to moz-extension://09e2d5b4-f721-4731-874a-e136bfdc3037/pages/subscribe/subscribe.html?https%3A//projects.filips.si/feed.xml, but it should stay the same.

Using the original URL is not that easy. (We would probably have to use valid XML in some cases)

The next version should make the back button always work correctly. We are also adding a view-source button.

Some other addons are supporting this. Are you sure this is not easy? (Sorry, I'm not expert for browser addons.)

These don't support more complicated cases like https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commits/master.atom or http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml at all.

RSSPreview actually looks quite advanced, they seem to be using XSLT and rewriting RSS mime-types to XML.
