Problem adding feeds with LiveLines

[demarest@…]

There seems to be a problem with Gregarius stripping one of the slashes '/' from the http:// when using LiveLines to add feeds. I consistently get the error:

I'm sorry, I couldn't retrieve http:/devlog.gregarius.net/feed/. Failed to fetch http:/devlog.gregarius.net/feed/. (HTTP Error: connection failed ()

for any feed I try to add in any feed format (RSS 2.0, .92, or ATOM). The URL that is printed in the address bar looks fine (it has both slashes).

Using the Gregarius bookmarklet works fine for adding feeds. I've tried this with 0.4.2 and the current svn snapshot.

I use LiveLines 0.4.3, and do not have any problems adding feeds. If you try to let Gregarius auto-detect feeds (by attempting to add website URLs), does it properly detect the feeds?

Maco:

As you guessed, this appears to be an Apache or mod_rewrite problem rather than a Gregarius one. I've installed another PHP application that wants to use mod_rewrite and it is stipping the / as well.

My setup:

Up to date Gentoo running gentoo-source 2.6

dev-php/mod_php-4.4.0 * dev-php/php-accelerator-1.3.3-r1 * dev-php/php-4.4.0 * net-www/apache-2.0.54-r8 *

If I get a fix, I'll post it here to help other Gregarius users.

This is a long shot, but maybe the Gentoo bug apache-2.0.5* default VirtualHost directives in httpd.conf squash mod_rewrite engine will help?

Martey:

It does look like a long shot. There are a *lot* of problems right now with Gentoo Apache + PHP. I've got hardened turned off, which seems to cause the most problems. I've been working around this bug in the other PHP app (scuttle) by editing the PHP file(s) to insert slashes where required.
