Fetch script

Submitted by Paddy on Mon, 2009-12-14 19:39 in

Hi David,
I'm trying to implement the a fetch script one of my sites but it isn't working. When I go to register the feeds this it is saying the feeds are csv (specifically csv|44|1|0) but the feeds are xml. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

This normally happens for one of 2 reasons; either

a) The feeds are still zipped after download (so your fetch script needs to unzip or ungzip)

~or~

b) There is some pre-amble in the XML that is invaliding the format and causing it to be recognised as a text format rather than XML.

If you're not sure; if you could email me a link to the installation, and the filename of one of the feeds that is not auto-detecting correctly and I'll download it to my test server and check it out for you...

Cheers,
David.

One of the file names was for a zipped file. Sorted now.
Thanks,
