Attachment: copy of current RSS feed for Jalopnik that does not parse

I have a live bookmark for Jalopnik, and for the past few months it says "Live Bookmark failed to load". I've attached a copy of the current RSS feed that fails to parse.

it seems to be WFM, I wonder if they are having server problems, and thus often it fails to load... :\

Comment 2

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Nick, is this still an issue? or has it gone away? Maybe Marco's comment about server issues was what was going on.

Comment 3

Still an issue. Jalopnik's RSS feed still fails to load.

Comment 4

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

I still suspect a problem at the network level, since it fails intermittently. Our code is just opening a network channel and reading from it.
I'm not sure we can do much to debug the problem, I'll add this rss to mine and see if it fails ever.
It may be useful to get a network log when the problem happens, maybe even just from devtools.

I deleted the bookmark and recreated it and it works. I guess we can close it?

Hm, did the url change? by itself deleting and recreating the bookmark doesn't do anything unless the url changed.

Wontfixing because live bookmarks are going away - See Bug 1477667.
