1843732 - Disable validation of RSS feeds in Thunderbird 102 News and Blogs.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[James H McCoy]

Steps to reproduce:

Regarding Thunderbird News and Blogs - I try to import and view RSS feeds from Google News website into News and Blogs via Account Settings, then I go to Manage Subscriptions and then I paste the URL of the Google News feed. Example: I try to import and read Google RSS new feeds about subject/topic "Fishing".

Actual results:

However, Thunderbird gives the error message on any RSS feeds from Google News "feed is unauthorized".

Expected results:

There is no problem importing and viewing RSS feeds from any sources other than Google News (example: BBC News). I can import and view Google News RSS feeds in standalone RSS readers as well as using RSS feed readers in Chrome browser extensions.

Something like this should work:
