Hey,
I forgot to say this was using the 'liferea-add-feed' script as called
by iceweasel, no HTTP Proxy.
I've done some investigation and this is what I've found...
Iceweasel sends a normal unencrypted http url to `liferea-add-feed` with
'feed:' syntax :
e.g.
"http://silentcircle.wordpress.com/feed/"; becomes:
"feed://silentcircle.wordpress.com/feed/"
BUT an https:// URL is badly formatted:
"https://fsfe.org/news/news.en.rss"; becomes:
"feed:https://fsfe.org/news/news.en.rss";
...which liferea doesn't handle well.
I managed to change the liferea-add-feed script to support the https
URL's, though it seems it is actually iceweasel providing a strange URL?
Attached is new version of liferea-add-feed which makes it work how I
expect if you're interested.
Thanks for such a quick response!
