Hmm, i just pulled your feed via feedparser no problems.
>>>import feedparser
>>>feed = feedparser.parse(‘http://www.swaroopch.info/archives/category/tech/python/feed/’)
>>>feed[‘status’]
200
I can get your feed fine.
Is it specific to the feedparser ?
No clue on the second issue but I had trouble on the first issue when i went to 1.5. The bug on my side was in .htaccess rules.
Edit the post. Most likely they entered ‘mypostdomain.com’ If it’s missing the ‘http://’ it will get appended like you describe i think.
