Main site RSS not working?

kevbotkevbot Registered User regular
I've noticed for the last few days that the main site RSS doesn't seem to work... I receive an error looking like so:
HTTP Error Code: 500

Detail: There was a problem retrieving the feed: com.burningdoor.rsspp.resource.impl.HttpConnectionException: Error getting URL: 503 - Service Not Available

When I click the "Send Report" button at the bottom I'm directed to a page containing some unstyled XML:
<methodResponse>
  <params>
    <param>
      <value>
        <struct>
          <member>
            <name>message</name>
            <value>Exception processing ping request</value>
          </member>
          <member>
            <name>flerror</name>
            <value>
              <boolean>1</boolean>
            </value>
          </member>
        </struct>
      </value>
    </param>
  </params>
</methodResponse>

I retrieve a cached copy of the feed from my own server which pulls it from feedburner and runs it through Tidy to avoid those special character issues that were breaking the feeds a while back. If this isn't the correct place to report this I apologize; could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

    It's working somehow. I'm subscribed to the feed via Google Reader and four hours ago Google Reader grabbed it. They were published 13 hours ago, however, so maybe it was a hiccup that has since gone away.

    Yes, seems to be working for me again. Guess I should have just held out a bit longer.

    We switched the url that feedburner polls, and it just took a while to update on their end.

    There now seems do be a different error with the RSS: permalinks for both articles and comics are taking the form
    http://www.penny-arcade.com/2008/04/04/contest-etcetera/
    when it should be just
    http://www.penny-arcade.com/2008/04/04/

    (note: the comic links still have the /comic/ portion)

    Given that the feed is designed to force click-through, this grows tiring rather quickly.

    You are describing a feature not a bug. Permalinks link to the permanent URL for that news post or comic.
    The link tag however links to the issue. I leave it up to you and your RSS reader to decide which one you want to use, a link to the entry or a link to the issue.

    I should include a link back to that issue, so you can see all of the newsposts or comics for that particular issue if you chose to view a specific entry.

    -Alpha

    Edit: By the way, this wasn't an advertising choice. The choice was a technical one, a GUID is a unique identifier for that entry.

    Gabe : So we got a lot of questions at Sakura-Con about the state of our game. Everyone seemed to want to know when it would be done. Well the truth is that episode 1 is done or at least what they call "content complete". We're actually hard at work on Episode 2 now and have been for a little while. Episode 1 is currently going through some hard core bug testing as well as Microsoft's own certification process. In the meantime we actually need your help to make sure that once the game is ready we'll be able to deliver it. ...

    Tycho : I don't have solid data, just my own year-to-year experience, but it feels like gaming cosplay has been on the rise since we first started attending Sakuracon. The Team Fortress 2 crews you've seen showcased on the gaming blogs are one of the newer ones, but Valve seemed to rule the crossover space this year: there were several Chells as well, as well as Aperture Science Technicians, their Weighted Companion Cubes in tow. These cubes were sometimes literally in tow, hoisted up on crates for easy transport. There was even a GlaDOS. I kept my distance. The more insular the ...

          <description>Gabe : So we got a lot of questions at Sakura-Con about the state of our game. Everyone seemed to want to know when it would be done. Well the truth is that episode 1 is done or at least what they call "content complete". We're actually hard at work on Episode 2 now and have been for a little while. Episode 1 is currently going through some hard core bug testing as well as Microsoft's own certification process. In the meantime we actually need your help to make sure that once the game is ready we'll be able to deliver it. ...&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/pa-mainsite/~4/263967553" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

          <description>Tycho : I don't have solid data, just my own year-to-year experience, but it feels like gaming cosplay has been on the rise since we first started attending Sakuracon. The Team Fortress 2 crews you've seen showcased on the gaming blogs are one of the newer ones, but Valve seemed to rule the crossover space this year: there were several Chells as well, as well as Aperture Science Technicians, their Weighted Companion Cubes in tow. These cubes were sometimes literally in tow, hoisted up on crates for easy transport. There was even a GlaDOS. I kept my distance. The more insular the ...&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/pa-mainsite/~4/263967555" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

    Yesterday I noticed that a bunch of recent entries were missing from the RSS feed. It looks like everything has been truncated back to 3/31 when the comic "A Vision Compromised" was posted.

    Anyone else notice this?

    Here's the raw feed I'm currently getting:

Over the years, we've had to hold interventions like this from time to time for the company.  It is in that spirit that we open a dialogue.      </description>

    	<description>Tycho:  It took some doing, but the result was a convocation with true drama and gravity, like the Council of Elrond.  This stalwart crew put their best foot forward, but unfortunately this exposed the foot in question to magma and licking tongues of living flame.  I knew my way around the boss deck a little better this time, to the delight of my deep legion.  When engaged in a campaign against that which is good and true, it's nice to know you have the support of upper management.        </description>

    	<description>Gabe: Sakura-con is coming up in just about a week and Tycho and I will be there as usual. We'll be doing a panel on Friday at 2:30 and we'll have a bunch of our new shirts at the booth. You should swing by and say hi if you're in the area.Early bird registration for PAX (the only man made convention viewable from space) ends on the 31st which is only ten days away. We're already getting game independent game submissions for the PAX 10 which is great considering how early it is. We'll be taking submissions until May 7th and the top 10 will be presented at PAX. For all the details and rules for submitting your game hit the PAX 10 site. Also, if you have something interesting to say to the PAX audience or you know someone who does please hit the panel/speaker submission page and drop us a line.Earlier this week we announced the return of the Penny Arcade scholarship. This is our second year doing it and I really enjoy the process. Sifting through the candidates and choosing one is ridiculously hard but I feel like the end result is something pretty special. Basically we want you to tell us how you plan on making an impact in the game industry. We'll give the winning student a $10,000 scholarship. You can get all the details and application forms on the official site located here. As a funny aside, I actually misspelled scholarship both times I wrote it up there. Turns out there is an &quot;a&quot; in it. Who knew. Anyway, that seemed sort of ironic to me.-Gabe out</description>

    	<description>Tycho:  We find ourselves at Continuity's dark door again, apologies all 'round, but when Gabe's exterminator rescheduled the comic essentially appeared out of thin air.  Let me assure you on behalf of Penny Arcade and the global brands we represent (beneath the umbrella firms &quot;Brazen&quot; and &quot;UltraLith Consumer Lures&quot;) that we will observe our creative impulses more keenly in the future.  The problem is that continuity, in its dormant state, looks like inspiration.   </description>

    It doesn't look like this one is on the user end. The feed (which I manually downloaded just now) only has entries up to 3/31.

    I'm seeing 10 entries from the last few days. There was another thread about someone seeing the main site stuck at the end of march... your ISP might be cacheing it for some reason.

    Smasher's answer is most likely correct. Something is caching it because it's working just fine here.

    I did some more looking and it appears we're talking about two different feeds here.

    http://penny-arcade.com/rss.xml
    This is the one that seems to be stuck at the end of March. It's what's linked from the RSS icon at the bottom of all of the pages. (Including in the comic nav bar- next, previous, news, etc.)

    http://feeds.penny-arcade.com/pa-mainsite
    This one is set in a link tag in the head of the pages, so it shows up as the RSS feed icon in the browser. It is up to date.

    So the question is- why two different feeds?

    Good catch.

    The old feed URL is a legacy url that should have been redirecting, and it looks like that redirect turned off a while ago. Give it a shot now.
