v0.5 is still work in progress, there are a few more things i would like to add and some things that really need fixing (ie: decent charset support) before I would consider releasing a final version.
When i try to get a https feed i get this error message when i load the bot:
[06:19] RSS Error: Unable to find tls package required for https, unloaded feed "log".
I already tried to install a tls package with no luck, could someone please explain where to download the correct tls package and what are the steps to install it?
forget it... my linux instalation just didn't have the tls library installed.
btw i have a feed that uses <description><p> text blah blah blah </p> </description>
the feed validator says that <p> is an invalid descriptor so i get this output from the bot:
[BOT] Topic Title - {name p attrib {} data { text blah blah blah }}
I've been having trouble using scripts similar to this on a cheap $3/month shell account when I a lot of feeds (like 10 or so). My host is ACMEShells and I can read the server specs, but I have no clue how many clients would be on a server or how much they expect you to use on it. For anyone with more experience than me (I don't know how any idea how much resources this script uses either), what should be my limit? I have several feeds that I would like to update every 5 minutes or so, but the rest would probably be fine at the default 30 minute interval.
uha666: Can you email me at scotteh [at] netspace /dot/ net (dot) au (The email account listed in the script is currently not working)
Dunn: Im not sure of the resources the script uses, but none of the feeds are stored in memory (other than when there being parsed). The new parser should also be less CPU intensive than the old one.
This script is indeed great, but I wonder if the author could add one thing... the ability to output multiple lines per article (more PRIVMSG's). ie. some kind of tag, or maybe just parsing \n's
