okie-dokie, version 1.5 supports HTTPS via SSL (if you experience https timeouts, try changing reqcert from yes:no to no:no)

please note that if the server requires certificate (very rarely for public access), you'll need to specify it as argument of [tls::socket]

hi,
I tried the new version with this rss feed:
https://dream4ever.org/external.php?type=RSS2

but it always shows " rssnews-1.5: ERROR(#maxm): timeout. "

no matter using yes:no or no:no

Could you help me out? Thanks very much

the certificate is for *.dreamz.org so you should use www.dreamz.org or something like that. Dont know if that can be a problem. however using that domain results in a 400 "bad request" error. Sounds like a messed up https server config.

well, other than suggesting to increase the timeout value, I can't help you further; obviously that feed has connection problems, I've been able to load it into my browser just once from like 10 attempts

the server certificate shouldn't play any role here, even if invalid or expired, as long as you don't request it (set rssnews::reqcert no:no)

increasing timeout value works. Thanks.

Looks like a nice script to me Smile

Right now I am using the rss tcl made by perplexa but it takes a lot of cpu..
This one is not really suitable for me, as I have a #news channel on my Network with aprox. 25 feeds added.
Would be great if support for more (or unlimited?) feeds per channel could be added.

I have no intention of developing this further (at least not now), but you can emulate multiple feeds on the same chan by specifying channame in mixed case, e.g. feeds(#news), feeds(#News), feeds(#nEws), etc.; however, that will work properly for announcements only

hi!

I've been using it for a while now and it works great. Thanks Smile

However, I would like to request for a pub trigger that can make it go into and out of 'silent mode' (eg. !stoprss and !startrss). In silent mode, the bot will continue updating from the websites but will not display it in the channel.

I hope it's not too much trouble. Thanks again Smile

sorry, I won't be developing my scripts any further - I lost interest in eggdrop scripting

but maybe somebody competent will be kind enough to take on from where I stopped and enhance my scripts even more, satisfying present and future user needs

I've been using this script for a few months now, and I love it! Thanks Demond for making this available.

I have a quick question...Whenever I get a storie with double quotes (") in it, the bot spits out:

"

This also happens for other symbols. Single quote does seem to show up ok. Is this because I am using xchat? It's not a big deal, but I would like to clean it up.

Thanks

Woody

hmm that doesn't seem as valid HTML escape to me... or maybe it really is, I'm no HTML expert

try adding " and \x22 to the variable html at script's end
