331851 - The same RSS entry is loaded each time I check for new RSS feeds

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[Roman Filippov]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: version 1.5 (20051201)

It got stuck on an entry from AskMen.com (http://cgi.askmen.com/RSS/askmenRSS_channel.php?ID=fashion). Every time I check for new RSS feeds, it loads the "Fashion: Clean Face Wash" entry. If I delete that post, it will reappear again once. The newer entries also load fine, and do not reappear again.

FeedValidator reports 2 errors:

- link must be a full and valid URL (one of the links they have in the feed is relative, stupid)

- item should contain a guid element (none of the entries have guid)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add feed
2. Reload feed
3. Delete entry
4. Reload feed again

Also having this problem in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1b2) Gecko/20060825 Thunderbird/2.0a1 ID:2006082505. I am trying to unsubscribe from my own blog on an old sever (http://www.hsir.technosailor.com/wp-rss2.php) and it keeps coming back to my subscribed feeds.
