My RSS feed is invalid, according to Sharpreader.
Trying to read this feed:
http://www.chasingthewind.net/wordpress/wp-rss2.php
gives an error, "Your feed appears to be encoded as "utf-8", but your server is reporting "US-ASCII"
Trying to read this feed:
http://www.chasingthewind.net/wordpress/wp-atom.php
give an error, "Error reading URL: The underlying connection was closed: The server committed an HTTP protocol violation."
How do I fix this?
RSS Feed Error (22 posts)

Try adding "AddDefaultCharset utf-8" to your .htaccess (without the " of course)
-
This will be new territory for me; I don't have a .htaccess file now. Do I just create a .htaccess with that one line in it? Does it go in my root folder or in my Wordpress folder?
-
You can create one with just that line yes, and you could put in either root or the wp folder.

header('Content-type: application/xml', true); -
Ah, I was just going to report back that I moved the .htaccess to \Wordpress and the root with no appreciable results.
I changed the wp-rss2.php line above and now my RSS feed validates. Thanks! -

Posted 3 years ago #I changed the wp-rss2.php line but it didn't help. The feed that I am having problems with is http://technospin.org/wordpress/wp-rss2.php.
Any ideas? -

FeedValidator says it's fine: http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://technospin.org/wordpress/wp-rss2.php . Did your fix work?
-
Posted 3 years ago #No although I definitely appreciate your trying to help. Newsgator and IntraVnews both are having problems with it. They both report a server committed an HTTP protocol violation.
Do you have any other suggestions? -
None that I can really think of. My freed reader is picking it up right too.
-
Scratch that, try selecting the option for WordPress to gzip your feeds when requested. It's a long shot, but you never know.

Posted 3 years ago #No luck. I'd hate to have to switch to something other than WordPress.
-
This is really odd though. My feed readers do pickup your feed, and FeedValidator says it's fine. I suppose you could try a complete delete-and-reinstall of all files except the ones you've modified (index.php).
-
Hm, you might want to try bringing your XHTML up to standards, that may fix what ever's going on. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftechnospin.org%2Fwordpress%2F

Posted 3 years ago #It was worth a shot but I fixed the XHTML (and had to make things less "pretty" because of strange tags Wordpress was inserting) but it still fails. I even upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. I think it may be time to switch.
-
Posted 3 years ago #I'm having exactly the same problem... feedvalidator says it's valid, but newsreaders give me the same error you mention (ie Server committed http protocol error)
-
I'd probably send a support email to your hosting company before switching, I've recommended all that I can.
-
Posted 3 years ago #No luck. The hosting company claims that they have made no changes. I even removed all of my weblog entries but it still doesn't work.

Posted 3 years ago #Now I just completely broke the site by removing links...

Posted 3 years ago #Changing "Last Modified" to "Last-Modified" in wp-blog-header.php did the trick. Kudos the great folks at http://pete99.net for their help.
Will this change make it into the next version of Wordpress? -
