GitHub feeds (incorrectly?) reported as misbehaving

question
#1

It looks like any GitHub feeds, eg. https://newsblur.com/site/646785/recent-commits-to-newsblurmaster, get reported as misbehaving with the reason “Feed has no original page. (404)” but it has a link to the original page (see https://i.imgur.com/otLe4P0.jpg) and the link seems to work.

Is this a bug with newsblur or is there really something wrong with the feed?

Github is blocking newsblur from accessing the original pages. You shouldn’t see this exception (rather it shouldn’t really show up for you) unless you right-click on the feed.

Would this affect this site:  http://smbc-rss-plus.github.io/

Nope, since the RSS feed there is on a different domain: RSS Feed

I get the same error on release feeds:

https://github.com/greenaddress/GreenBits/releases.atom
https://github.com/xsacha/Sachesi/releases.atom

However feed contents are fetched correctly.
