Hi
Google News blocks wget and LWP from making RSS requests -- try getting
these feeds in a browser and wget:
http://news.google.com/news?q=sheffield&ie=UTF-8&output=rssThe User-Agent field can be set for LWP:Simple [1] and I guess having a
env var for this would make sense, and it could be set to something
sensible by default, eg "MKDoc 1.6 RSS fetcher" and then it would also
be easy to change it's if this doesn't work for some sites...
For now adding a line like this to tools/cron/031..rss_routine.pl and
tools/cron/030..rss_troubleshooter.pl does the trick
$ua->agent('Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)');
