https://www.space.com/feeds/all does not validate but is valid per other RSS Feed validators

Error: Feed failed! Causes may be (1) No data found for RSS feed https://www.space.com/feeds/all; (2) There are no items are available for this feed; (3) The RSS feed does not validate.

https://www.space.com/feeds/all is valid per the link below.

feed2js used to work with https://www.space.com/feeds/all, but it stopped about a year ago but not sure why.

I'm sorry about that, I've had similar results with most of my recent tests. It's more likely bugs in the ancient RSS parser the site uses (this was built in like 2003). And I think the site may be finally fully broken. I don't have the abilty to fix or maintain the service, sorry.

Well, thanks to Brian Teller, who has generously offered hosting for the last few years, Feed2JS http://feed2js.org/ is back up and operational. I don't know how well it works (I've had trouble with my own blog's feeds) but at least it' breathing

Okay I have updated a few files, and am getting at least working results on my WordPress sites, which previously failed.

@psmith2100 I think the old parser is tripping up on something in your feed, I don't know it well enough to diagnose. It pops an error on this test page http://feed2js.org/magpie_debug.php but I dont know what it means

Thanks, but I have feed2js running on my web server at http://www.smithinet.com/feed/build.php. The only issue is with the https://www.space.com/feeds/all RSS feed, and it used to work until six months ago.  Now I get the error below. I have many other feeds that work with no issue. rror: Feed failed! Causes may be (1) No data found for RSS feed https://www.space.com/feeds/all; (2) There are no items are available for this feed; (3) The RSS feed does not validate. Please verify that the URL https://www.space.com/feeds/all works first in your browser and that the feed passes a validator test.

I suspect this s due to PHP 8 - downgrading to 7.4 worked for me

If you're still using it, I've just created a fork replacing Magpie with rss-php that handles the space.com feed OK. Locally it's running happily under PHP 7.4 and 8.4.
