RSS newsfeed not working correctly

**ErikBrown** · November 4, 2016 at 8:42 AM

The RSS news feed feed of this website appears to have a problem. It works when you past the link in a browser. But when you use RSSowl or Newreader, then the RSS link does not show up anything. Also if you test the link in Feed Validator for Atom and RSS then it comes up with an error.

The reported error is Server returned [Errno 1] _ssl.c:504: error:14077438:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert internal error

The RSS feeds are working (at least in Firefox), but we'll have a look if anything can/must be fixed. Thanks for the heads up.

On Firefox I get an open lock icon and the page info shows no encryption on the RSS feed.

feedvalidator.org is barfing on the cipher configuration used in our certs. We have certs from letsencrypt installed on the servers, although we front-end things with cloudflare who substitute their own versions ~ both orgs know what they're doing and issue valid certs. Most likely cause for the error they show is an outdated version of OpenSSL on their server. I'd guess the issue you're seeing on your RSS reader has a similar cause as "it works for me" in Vienna on macOS. There have been lots of fixes and changes to the default cipher configurations in SSL suites in the last 24 months so your OS or the app (if libs are embedded) need to be recent else things break.
