567962 - Thunderbird hangs verifying Craigslist search RSS feeds

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[ds332]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100423 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.3
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 3.0.4

Thunderbird hangs verifying feeds from Craigslist searches. These feeds work in RSSOwl so they are valid. Other feeds work in Thunderbird, so it seems to be just some sites.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Perform a search on Craigslist (any location).
2. Select the option to subscribe to the feed using Thunderbird (or manually copy the feed URL into Thunderbird, add feed, in manage feeds)
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird claims to be verifying the feed, but never finishes. Closing the window (the only way to stop it) results in it asking if you want to cancel the subscription.

Expected Results:  
It should complete the verification and subscribe to the feed.
