Hi everyone.

I'm trying to read the harelang blog using my RSS reader and I noticed
this weird bug.

It seems that integrating the RSS blog downloads every subpage in the
harelang.org site, instead of only the blog entries. Besides, the date
in these out-of-place pages is not behaving properly in the RSS app,
showing a day in the year 2042. Although the date bug could be the
application's fault (I suspect that's not the case), I'm sure that
downloading the whole webpage through the RSS feed is not the desired
behavior.

Hi,

Can confirm that this happens with the link given on harelang.org/blog
(which is harelang.org/index.xml). That seems to be an error? It should
point to harelang.org/blog/index.xml (which behaves as it should).

If I curl the index.xml it shows them as 0001-01-01 (1st January 0001).
Your feed reader probably translates that to 2042?

TL;DR: Use https://harelang.org/blog/index.xml instead.

Cheers,

Will do.

Yes, that is exactly what happens (the reader is thunderbird btw.) Maybe
the dates in those subsites should be fixed too anyway to prevent third-
party software from doing that kind of conversion? Although if nobody
uses that index.xml site, it is probably irrelevant.

Can confirm it works perfectly :)
