Sam, need your help. Here's the debugging I've done:

$ curl -I http://andreasgal.com/feed/
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx
Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 06:04:39 GMT
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8

ETag: "d8c02150715c5e1d511e7a82813272d9"
X-nc: HIT luv 48

No obvious redirect that I see. I even tried it with a python-httplib2 user-agent.

I had IT remove all files containing "andreasgal" in the name, including past posts, the sources/ file, and the http/ file for this feed. Didn't help.

Other ideas?

General debugging tips.

The way I typically proceed is to create another config.ini which contains just that one feed and see if it is processed correctly.  In fact, I have done that often enough that I have automated the process by creating a script.  Try:

python tests/reconstitute.py http://andreasgal.com/feed/

The output will be a sanitized Atom feed which should be sufficient to verify how the original feed was interpreted.  Doing this locally, I see no problems.

Next I go back to the original config.ini and make sure that the following is present:

log_level = DEBUG
log_format = %(created).6f %(levelname)5s %(message)s

When you next run planet.py you should see output like the following:

http://planet.intertwingly.net/planet.log

Look for output there related to andreasgal.  Feel free to send or post that output someplace where I can look at it.

[Andrew McCreight [:mccr8]]

This probably isn't the problem, but his website was andreasgal.wordpress.com until recently.  Now, if you enter andreasgal.wordpress.com it just forwards you to andreasgal.com.  I don't know if that might somehow interfere, or his pmo thing is pointed the wrong place, but I thought I'd mention it.

Comment 7

[Robert Accettura [:raccettura]]

Reassigning to reed as he started investigating.

Comment 8

[Andreas Gal :gal]

The forward is a wordpress-change. I use andreasgal.com with wordpress. Seems like they are forwarding that now.

Comment 9

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Is this now working? Can it be resolved?

Here is the new, working, and active feed for this blog's Mozilla category tag.
