Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

In the 'Manage Subscriptions' dialog, adding a URL with the 'Add' button hangs
while 'Verifying the feed...' if the URL pasted into the 'Feed URL' field
contains whitespace at the end. There is usually whitespace in the URL if I've
copied it from an email message.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on the RSS Account
2. Select 'Manage Subscriptions'
3. Click the 'Add' button
4. In the 'Feed URL' field, enter a valid RSS URL, but add a space on the end
5. Click 'OK'
6. Wait.......

Actual Results:  
The 'RSS Subscriptions' dialog sits, displaying 'Verifying the feed' until I hit
the 'OK' button which asks if I want to cancel the operation.

Expected Results:  
Stripped the whitespace from the URL and added the feed. Either that or display
an error message that the feed URL is incorrect.
