Vienna can't access feeds from Oxford University Press

Post by mikaspe »

Dear all,

I'm not very familiar with the different types of feeds, so I apologize in advance if this is a very basic question/problem. I want to subscribe to some RSS feeds of academic journals that are published by Oxford University Press. However, none of them work with Vienna (since at least version 3.5.*, cannot remember from before that), but I can access them through Google Chrome or curl. For example, here is the feed for the Journal of Consumer Research: https://academic.oup.com/rss/site_5397/3258.xml. The activity monitor outputs the following error:

"Connecting to https://academic.oup.com/rss/site_5397/3258.xml
Error retrieving RSS feed: The network connection was lost."

Is there a solution for my problem?

Thanks!

Probably has to do with their seemingly wonky SSL, when I try to just curl the RSS link in terminal.app, I get:
curl: (56) LibreSSL SSL_read: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL, errno 54
For reference, RSS feed URL I used is https://academic.oup.com/rss/site_5397/3258.xml

Thank you so much for sharing. It's very helpful for me. It is quite difficult sometimes to enter a university that you like because there is a lot of competition. I am currently studying and I have to write many academic texts. I use essay writer help which helps me spend more time on subjects I like.
