2021-07-11sfeed.c: parsetime: support short digit years for RSS pubDate fields (RFC822)Hiltjo Posthuma
RSS (pubDate) uses RFC822 dates. This standard is obsoleted by RFC2822. The RSS 2.0 spec says for the pubDate field: "[...] All date-times in RSS conform to the Date and Time Specification of RFC 822, with the exception that the year may be expressed with two characters or four characters (four preferred)." RFC822 section 5.1 describes the syntax with 2 digit years: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc822#section-5.1 It was obsoleted/fixed in RFC2822 section 4.3: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2822#section-4.3 " Where a two or three digit year occurs in a date, the year is to be interpreted as follows: If a two digit year is encountered whose value is between 00 and 49, the year is interpreted by adding 2000, ending up with a value between 2000 and 2049. If a two digit year is encountered with a value between 50 and 99, or any three digit year is encountered, the year is interpreted by adding 1900." In the real world I've seen all sites using RSS use the 4-digit format. For historic context of changes and what feeds it might affect: - RFC822 was published in 13 august 1982, obsoleted by RFC2822. - RFC2822 was published in april 2001, obsoleted by RFC5322. - RFC5322 was published in october 2008. - RDF was started around 1996. It was published around 2004. - March 15, 1999: RSS 0.90 (Netscape), published by Netscape and authored by Ramanathan Guha. - July 10, 1999: RSS 0.91 (Netscape), published by Netscape and authored by Dan Libby. - June 9, 2000: RSS 0.91 (UserLand), published by UserLand Software and authored by Dave Winer. - Dec. 25, 2000: RSS 0.92, UserLand. - Aug. 19, 2002: RSS 2.0, UserLand. - July 15, 2003: RSS 2.0 (version 2.0.1), published by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School and authored by Dave Winer. - July 15, 2003: RSS 2.0 (version 2.0.1-rv-1), published by the RSS Advisory Board. - July 17, 2003: RSS 2.0 (version 2.0.1-rv-2), RSS Advisory Board. - April 6, 2004: RSS 2.0 (version 2.0.1-rv-3), RSS Advisory Board. - May 31, 2004: RSS 2.0 (version 2.0.1-rv-4), RSS Advisory Board. - June 19, 2004: RSS 2.0 (version 2.0.1-rv-5), RSS Advisory Board. - January 25, 2005: RSS 2.0 (version 2.0.1-rv-6), RSS Advisory Board. - Aug. 12, 2006: RSS 2.0 (version 2.0.8), RSS Advisory Board. - June 5, 2007: RSS 2.0 (version 2.0.9), RSS Advisory Board. - Oct. 15, 2007: RSS 2.0 (version 2.0.10), RSS Advisory Board. - March 30, 2009 (current): RSS 2.0 (version 2.0.11), RSS Advisory Board.

2021-07-06sfeed: change comment which reflects printing relative URLs behaviourHiltjo Posthuma
This URL printing behaviour was changed recently in commit f305b032bc19b4e81c0dd6c0398370028ea910ca

2021-06-01portability and standards: add BSD-like err() and errx() functionsHiltjo Posthuma
These are BSD functions. - HaikuOS now compiles without having to use libbsd. - Tested on SerenityOS (for fun), which doesn't have these functions (yet). With a small change to support wcwidth() sfeed works on SerenityOS.

2021-04-28add support for old/legacy Atom 0.3 feedsHiltjo Posthuma
This standard was a draft used around 2005-2006. Instead of the fields "published" and "updated" it used "issued" (mandatory field) and "modified" (optional). Add support for them and also in preference of supporting Atom 1.0 and creation dates first. I don't know any real-life examples that still use this though. Some references: - http://rakaz.nl/2005/07/moving-from-atom-03-to-10.html - https://www.dokuwiki.org/syndication (rss_type "atom" parameter value). - https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/160598?hl=en

This fix is very important *ahem*.
2021-03-01util: improve/refactor URI parsing and formattingHiltjo Posthuma
Removed/rewritten the functions: absuri, parseuri, and encodeuri() for percent-encoding. The functions are now split separately with the following purpose: - uri_format: format struct uri into a string. - uri_hasscheme: quick check if a string is absolute or not. - uri_makeabs: make a URI absolute using a base uri and the original URI. - uri_parse: parse a string into a struct uri. The following URLs are better parsed: - URLs with extra "/"'s in the path prepended are kept as is, no "/" is added either for empty paths. - URLs like "http://codemadness.org" are not changed to "http://codemadness.org/" anymore (paths are kept as is, unless they are non-empty and not start with "/"). - Paths are not percent-encoded anymore. - URLs with userinfo field (username, password) are parsed. like: ftp://user:password@[2001:db8::7]:2121/rfc/rfc1808.txt - Non-authoritive URLs like mailto:some@email.org, magnet URIs, ISBN URIs/urn, like: urn:isbn:0-395-36341-1 are allowed and parsed correctly. - Both local (file:///) and non-local (file://) are supported. - Specifying a base URL with a port will now only use it when the relative URL has no host and port set and follows RFC3986 5.2.2 more closely. - Parsing numeric port: parse as signed long and check <= 0, empty port is allowed. - Parsing URIs containing query, fragment, but no path separator (/) will now parse the component properly. For sfeed: - Parse the baseURI only once (no need to do it every time for making absolute URIs). - If a link/enclosure is absolute already or if there is no base URL specified then just print the link directly. There have also been other small performance improvements related to handling URIs. References: - https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986 - Section "5.2.2. Transform References" have also been helpful.
2021-02-04sfeed.c: fix time parsing regression with non-standard date formatHiltjo Posthuma
The commit that introduced the regression was: commit 33c50db302957bca2a850ac8d0b960d05ee0520e Author: Hiltjo Posthuma <hiltjo@codemadness.org> Date: Mon Oct 12 18:55:35 2020 +0200 simplify time parsing Noticed on a RSS feed with the following date: <pubDate>2021-02-03 05:13:03</pubDate> This format is non-standard, but sfeed should support this. A standard format would be (for Atom): 2021-02-03T05:13:03Z Partially revert it.
2021-01-22sfeed: fix regression with parsing content fieldsHiltjo Posthuma
This regression introduced in commit e43b7a48 on Tue Oct 6 18:51:33 2020 +0200. After a content tag was parsed the "iscontenttag" variable was not reset. This caused 2 regressions: - It ignored other tags such as links after it. - It incorrectly set the content-type of a lesser priority field. Thanks to pazz0 for reporting it!
2020-10-22Do not change the referenced matched tag data (from gettag()).Hiltjo Posthuma
Fixes a regression introduced in the refactor in commit e43b7a48b08a6bbcb4e730e80395b3257681b33e Now copy the data by value. This structure is small and no performance regression has been seen. This was because the tag ID was modified which made subsequent parsed tags of this type behave strangely: ctx.tag->id = RSSTagGuidPermalinkTrue; Input data to reproduce: <rss> <channel> <item> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://def/</guid> </item> <item> <guid>https://abc/</guid> </item> </channel> </rss>

2020-10-12RSS: give Dublin Core <dc:date> higher priority over <pubDate>Hiltjo Posthuma
This way dc:date could be the updated time of the item. For Atom there is <published> and <updated> with the same logic.
2020-10-12parse categories, add multiple field values support (for categories)Hiltjo Posthuma
Fields with multiple values are separated by '|'. In the future multiple enclosure support might be added. The categories tags are now parsed. This feature is useful for filtering and categorizing. Parsing of nested tags such as <author><name> has been improved. This code has been refactored. RSS <guid> isPermaLink is now handled differently also and will now prefer a permalink with "true" (link) over the ID. In practise multiple <guid> in an item does not happen.

2020-05-28sfeed: simplify/optimize checking end tags while inside a RSS/Atom tagHiltjo Posthuma
Instead of a binary search do set a pointer to the assigned expected end tag. This makes more sense and is also a minor optimization. No behavioural change intended.

2019-05-02sfeed: improve content type (attribute) handlingHiltjo Posthuma
- handle type attribute for MRSS media:description, media:description type="plain" is now parsed properly. - handle default content-types per tag now. - when multiple content-like fields are specified use the proper content-type. - be flexible about type attribute handling. - minor code tweaks.
2019-04-14sfeed: add support for the first enclosure of an itemHiltjo Posthuma
This is useful for example for podcasts (audio attachment), newsposts (usually some image) or comic strips (link to page, image as enclosure). thanks leot for the feedback!
2019-04-06optimization: define GETNEXT as an inline macroHiltjo Posthuma
This reduces much function call overhead. getnext is defined in xml.h for inline optimization. sfeed only uses one XML parser context per program, this allows further optimizations of the compiler also. On OpenBSD it was noticable because of retpoline etc function call overhead. Using clang and a 500MB test XML file reduces processing time from +- 12s to 5s. Tested using some crazy optimization flags: SFEED_CFLAGS = -O3 -std=c99 -DGETNEXT=getchar_unlocked -fno-ret-protector \ -mno-retpoline -static A GETNEXT macro is also nice for programs which mmap(2) some big XML file. Then you can simply define: #define GETNEXT() (off >= len ? EOF : reg[off++])

2019-02-27improve RSS2 permalink supportHiltjo Posthuma
In RSS2 (but not RSS0.9), a <link> is optional and it can also be specified by <guid isPermaLink="true"> (permalink is "true" by default). When a <link> is also present this will be used instead of the GUID permalink.

2019-02-24stricter Atom link parsingHiltjo Posthuma
the Atom link parsing is more strict now and checks the rel attribute. When the rel attribute is empty it is handled as a normal link ("alternate"). This makes sure when an link with an other type is specified (such as "enclosure", "related", "self" or "via") before a link it is not used. sfeed does not handle enclosures, but the code is reworked so it is very simple to add this. Enclosures are often used for example to attach some image to a newspost or an audio file to a podcast.
