This is what I get when I try to get a news feed. I've only just installed rawdog; I set it up as instructed in /usr/share/doc/rawdog-1.12/README.gz, and I've tried changing the timeout value from 30s to 2m with no effect. Proxy values are set in the environment, and I can open the url in firefox with no difficulty. I assume that rss feeds use http, no? What else should I try? prh@wstn ~ $ rawdog -v -f http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss091.xml Starting update Will update 1 feeds Updating feed 1 of 1: http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss091.xml Feed: http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss091.xml Timeout while reading feed.

Peter, that's what I get on my system: Starting update Will update 1 feeds Updating feed 1 of 1: http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss091.xml Feed: http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss091.xml HTTP Status: 301 New URL: http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml The feed has moved permanently to a new URL. You should update its entry in your config file. It seems you just need to update url of the feed in your config. With updated url it works fine for me. Also, you can try with rawdog-2.4, which I've just commited to portage.
I don't know what I've done differently this time (I've completely rebuilt this Gentoo box) but I can't reproduce the problem now. Rawdog works with both the URLs you quote. Looks like this bug can be closed. Thanks for your help.
