My RSS fails to load was created by David Uehara
I'm sorry if this was covered before, but I haven't been able to find an answer when I skimmed through the previous topics. Our feed was working before, and our developers said nothing changed, but it stopped working for me.

The feed is from www.hba.net/rss.cfm?news=3.

Here's the error message I recieve:

Warning: fopen(www.hba.net/rss.cfm?news=3): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found in /volume1/web/joomla/libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php on line 335

JFile: :read: Unable to open file: www.hba.net/rss.cfm?news=3

Failed loading XML...

Attached is the image of the error message if that helps.

I just created a new site using Joomla 3.8.4 so I thought I'd try this module again. It was easy to use and I liked how it looked.
Thank you for any help you can give me.
David

It's not a problem with the module. The feed source is empty: jmp.sh/CF4fLDQ

Sites change, so they may have changed their URLs for feeds.

Also, make sure you use Joomla 3.8.12 (latest at the time of writing).

Thank you. I'm so sorry, but that source did have some info yesterday. I think they are changing things.

Here's some new feeds from their site.

www.hba.net/fs/post-manager/boards/9/posts/feed

Sorry about the change.

Although the feeds are visible in the browser, their server is detecting if the client retrieving the XML has a user agent string set. Which is kinda stupid if you ask me as a feed is bound to be retrieved by other sites or apps which would not set any "user agent" string.

If you're dying to add their feeds, edit the module's helper.php file (until I add it as an option) and around line 263 edit the code from:
if(ini_get('allow_url_fopen')){

to
if(ini_get('allow_url_fopen')){
    stream_context_get_default(array('http' => array('user_agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36')));

This will enforce a user agent string and trick their "protection" to serve you the XML file.

Result? jmp.sh/HWknPEQ

Thank you. I'm not sure why it is setup the way it is, but I tried your fix and it works. I really appreciate you looking into it and for giving me a fix.
Mahalo.

You're welcome.

If you like "Simple RSS Feed Reader", please devote a couple of minutes to review/rate it at the Joomla Extensions Directory here: extensions.joomla.org/extension/simple-rss-feed-reader/

It helps other users as well :)

Thank you.
