Feedburner URL Encoding problem

Post by wingi »

After playing with redir-rules ( and this wont work on 1&1 hosting) I rolled all changes back. But now the feedburner URLs to any post wont work now and go to the startpage. With httpfox I found the difference:


Normal url:

Code: Select all

GET /index.php?/archives/363-La-Rose-Falaffel-wie-in-Damaskus.html HTTP/1.1
Url from feedburner:

Code: Select all

GET /index.php?%2Farchives%2F363-La-Rose-Falaffel-wie-in-Damaskus.html HTTP/1.1
Ok, s9y dont match the url params for /archives/. A simple fix to change the regex for finding the pattern /archives/<id>_blabla.html but I did not found the code line. Other option would be to force s9y to decode the "%2F". The workaround with RewiteRule wont work because the 1&1 hosting apache rules are corrupt.

Test resource: http://mittagstisch-ka.de/
- search with google: correct urls
- get article urls via rss (feedburner): "%2F"-corrupt urls

Thanx.

Hi!

The problem is that feedburner encodes the URLS, do you know why they do that? It surely must be blockable because it's not okay to encode the entities, they should not mess with the permalinks...

Anyhow : URL Rewrites should work on 1&1 hosters; The "Apach errorhandling" way should work there!

Thanx for fast answer.

I will check the feedburer account if there are options for disabling this.

Nope - the startpage starts but the css-url wont work. I cant read the error logs on my shared account.

How does your .htaccess file look like? Is the "ErrorDocument 404 /..." path the right one?

Hi!

You definitely might want to ask feedburner support; their invalid re-encoding is creating the problem. I don't see how we could fix this on our end, if they simply specify a wrong url that does not match the permalink we specifiy in the feed!

Thanks, but after searching for a solution the hole day, i changed to feedcat and now it works. This Provider has a clear Navigation and seems to be better than feedburner.
