Feed validation issues with https
« on: January 03, 2018, 05:32:46 pm »
If anyone can help, I would truly appreciate it. I am pulling my hair out.

Here is what I get from the feed validator (site is catholicmovieguy.com) when I use my https:// feed link (https://catholicmovieguy.com/feed/)

"Sorry
This feed does not validate.

line 69, column 0: url must be a full URL: https://media.blubrry.com/catholicmovieguy/content.blubrry.com/catholicmovieguy/CMG040_Scrooged_1988_.mp3 (19 occurrences) [help]

<enclosure url="https://media.blubrry.com/catholicmovieguy/content.blubrry.c ..."'
This is despite the fact that when I look at the individual media upload from Blubrry links, such as the one noted above, they all read "http://media.blubrry..." rather than "https://media.blubrry..."

Moreover, when I enter the non-secured address for the feed, (http://catholicmovieguy.com/feed), I get

"Congratulations!
[Valid RSS] This is a valid RSS feed."

Any ideas on why this would be, how to fix it, or whether I should let this bother me?

Thanks!

Feed Validator is old and hasn't been updated in years. That includes compatibility with https.

Please validate your feed (including secure feeds) first at:
https://castfeedvalidator.com/  and  https://podba.se/
