Delete Branch '%!s(MISSING)'
Deleting a branch is permanent. It CANNOT be undone. Continue?
Hi, using most recent tarball from the site.
I've followed the installation steps, almost no changes to the configuration files (just document root in nginx.conf), everything works great in
tt-rssmode, but thefevermode will not connect.For example, when using Unread on iOS, I enter the server as
https://example.com/fever/and provide username and fever-specific passwordAuthentication fails with the error:-
Any ideas where the mistake could be?
Sounds like an Nginx configuration problem. If you’ve only changed the document root and TT-RSS works, then it may be an error on my part. I’ll do some testing when I have some time.
It appears I had neglected to add the following FastCGI directive to the example Nginx configuration:
Could you try Fever again with that directive added to the
location @arssesection and report back whether it works and/or you run into any other trouble?Hi,
Thanks for answering.
Unfortunately, that didn't work. Access logs are showing the below:
It looks like the server is referring the call to
/fever/?apiwith a redirect to
/fever/api/fever.php?apiIs this expected behaviour?
It doesn't look like redirection is occurring. Rather, Unread is trying two different URLs (which is good to know: I'll add the alternate).
The Arsse is hypercorrectly responding with 405 since the API is all POST-based and GET requests are technically not allowed.
As far as I know Fever actually responded with 200 and showed its Web UI, and I guess some clients expect this behaviour. If you want to try a quick fix, modify https://code.mensbeam.com/MensBeam/arsse/src/branch/master/lib/REST/Fever/API.php#L98 to read
200instead of405. That should get you farther along.Thanks for your patience with this.
It doesn't seem to be redirecting here. What it looks like to me is that the client is trying to find out which URL to use for the API endpoint. It tries the
/fever/?apiURL first, and since it returned a 405 error it tried the next one. It is using GET requests for this which is wrong; it should be using HEAD requests for this kind of thing instead. Arsse is returning a 405 error here by design as Fever is supposed to use POST requests.Maybe we could have Arsse return an HTTP 200 code to get this client to cooperate, @jking?
Oh, you got to it seconds before I did!
Great minds obviously think alike! I suspect that change will get things working. In the meantime I'll write a somewhat more proper fix.
Hi again,
Made that change, still doesn't work, albeit now with a new and exciting error message!
nginx log:-
Unread Error:
Unable to validate URL
Fever API (http://example.org/fever?api) returned a response with a MIME type of text/html. Unread expected JSON.
EDIT TO ADD:-
The change to 200 did result in Reeder 3 working with thearsse on MacOS. If this is a client issue then there's not a lot I can expect you guys to do about it, but many thanks for your great aggregator and being so supportive here.
I wish I had an iOS device to test for myself, but it looks like Unread is grossly misbehaving by sending its requests with GET rather than POST. While Unread is definitely at fault here, it probably worked in Fever, so I'll allow it. Expect a fixed release soon!
I've published a new release which should work with Unread (I hope). It will also work with NewsFlash, which I discovered this morning didn't work, either, though for a different reason. With any luck you won't have to quote any more error messages! ;)
... and it works!
Thanks so much @jking, I'm going to mark this closed.
