Details

A while ago (without me doing any change) RSS feed from LinkedIn stopped working. I deleted the feed and tried to add new the URL you can get from http://www.linkedin.com/rssAdmin?display=&goback=.nas_*1_*1_*1. SeaMonkey says it cannot find the given URL. So i double-checked it with lynx and it worked nicely. Even recreating the feed URL did not change anything. Let me know what I can do to help you debug. Thanks. pi
Does this work in Firefox?
This is part of MailNews, so I am not sure, how to answer your question. Anyhow I do not have Firefox.
The Feed Discovery and Preview refers to the Livemarks system that we share with Firefox. Are you talking about the Newsblog component in MailNews::Core that we share with Thunderbird?
Sorry, I cannot answer the detail on which module actually generates the error. I only see the issue in the MailNews part of SeaMonkey when I try to add the feed there. If there is a way for me to generate a log which will help analyzing this, I am more than happy to produce that. pii
That's the newsblog component in MailNews Core. I'll move it there. Also please specify what version of SeaMonkey you're using.

the link you gave is a signin page. what is the real feed file link? is it https? enter the feed link in the browser urlbar, do you get 'subscribe to this feed' page?
Actually, this link will only work if you are logged in to LinkedIn. Since the RSS feed link you can generate on that page is personalized, login is required. pi
you didn't address the other items. if you take that custom link and enter it in a browser, what do you get? do you have cookies enabled (for mail - Tb has this option but i don't know how Sm does it)? do you need to be authed to get the feed? can you create and post a test link?
Sorry, here the other questions: The link is http, it looks like this: http://www.linkedin.com/rss/nus?key=[lenghty key] lynx -dump -head delivers: HTTP/1.0 200 OK Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Vary: Accept-Encoding Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2012 17:28:52 GMT Set-Cookie: L1l=175ce87d; path=/ Content-Length: 0 Age: 0 Connection: keep-alive Set-Cookie: X-LI-DDC=C1 Set-Cookie: X-LI-IDC=C4 No further authentication required, it is all through the key. I would not know if I can set cookies separately for MailNews, yet I have them disabled generally. Also note, the link worked until recently (I have created a new link to make sure it is not a failure on LinkedIn, also using lynx I can get the up-to-date content). If I enter that custom link into SeaMonkey, it will open the MailNews window and nothing more happens. I have not idea how I could generate a test link, I can only get to fully personalized content.
you can create a test account, simulate the problem, and post the details of the test account.
For whatever reason it started working again in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0 SeaMonkey/2.14.
