RSS feed isn't a valid link

[ghost]

Checking the RSS feed using the Feed Validator and the feed does not validate.

Specifically, error:

Server returned [Errno 1] _ssl.c:504: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

The help on that error explains:

Your feed couldn't be validated because there was a problem downloading it from the web server. You should try to diagnose this using a web browser, and make sure that the URL you supplied resolves to an accessible file.

This usually means that the URL was wrong, or that permissions on the server don't allow us to fetch that file. The error shows the message that the server sent, which may help.

Haskell Weekly uses an SSL certificate provided by Let's Encrypt. It looks like feedvalidator.org doesn't know about them. Using the W3C's feed validator we can see that the feeds are in fact valid:

• https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhaskellweekly.news%2Fhaskell-weekly.atom
• https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhaskellweekly.news%2Fhaskell-weekly.rss

Thanks for that. Seems like I may need to do something with the RSS app I’m using.

You can try using the Atom/RSS feed straight from GitHub.

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haskellweekly/haskellweekly.github.io/master/haskell-weekly.atom
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haskellweekly/haskellweekly.github.io/master/haskell-weekly.rss

The only potential problem there is that they're served as text/plain rather than application/atom+xml.

I'm going to close this. I hope those alternate feeds work for you. If not, I'm not sure what I can even do to help.
