- Specify default low connect timeout in order that 'interactive' pages are
not slowed down by slow feeds
- Set default cache feed duration of 1 hour
In RSS feed block:
- Try really hard in cron to retreive the feed
- Set the cache duration low in order to help cron refresh the cache
This allows simplepie to set if-modified-since/if-none-match headers
to efficiently test if a feed has been updated without recieving the
whole content
Added more unit tests, improved style and fixed:
- Failed behaviour of redirects
- Incorrect behaviour on feed retrival failure
- Ensured rss cache clear for unit test setup
To replace unmaintained magipie. Simplepie is actively maintained has some
nice features such as feed autodisovery. Implemented a simple extended class
which uses the Moodle core curl class from filelib.
Added unit test using the moodle.org sample files. Please note these tests will
fail if moodle can't make http connections out, so ensure proxy settings
etc are correct.
