If you try to subscribe to a feed url that no longer exists or whose DNS lookup
now fails, we fail to show an alert dialog saying there was a network error and
we could not reach the specified RSS url.

I have code that does this but I wasn't calling it correctly.

when I enter "foo.foo" for the feed's URL, I do get the alert saying that's not
a valid feed.

however, when I enter "http://foo.foo" it just hangs when trying to verify the
feed. unless that's part of another issue?
