matthiasblaesing commented on issue #241: [NETBEANS-112] Re-integrate DTD for
RSS 0.91 feed
URL:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/241#issuecomment-341971790
I had a look at the sample the ASF references (`web-facesconfig_1_0.dtd`)
and I agree with you, that it matches the situation of the RSS DTD file. The
reference is also missing sensible licensing information and so I can also
accept it in this case. So do you want to ask anyone else or shall I merge this?

> Welcome module (RSS) feed broken in donation
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-112
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-112
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ide - Welcome
> Reporter: lbruun
> Priority: Minor

> In Apache NetBeans the RSS feeds in Welcome Page no longer works. Works on
> current hg main-silver and works in NB 8.2.
> The problem occurs when the downloaded XML has a doctype declaration:
> {code:xml}
> <!DOCTYPE rss PUBLIC "-//Netscape Communications//DTD RSS 0.91//EN"
> "http://my.netscape.com/publish/formats/rss-0.91.dtd";>
> {code}
> There used to be a "registered" DTD for this in the Welcome module but it was
> removed as part of Oracle's cleanup prior to donation. This is why it works
> on current hg main-silver, but not on the donated code.
> See:
> http://hg.netbeans.org/releases/rev/66633aaa2811
> http://hg.netbeans.org/releases/rev/00ff3249694f
> Because of the removal, the XML Reader will - in the absence of a registered
> DTD - attempt to download the DTD from the Internet, i.e. it will attempt to
> download http://my.netscape.com/publish/formats/rss-0.91.dtd, which will fail
> because it redirects to {{aol.com}} and there isn't a DTD at that location.
> (duh!, I'm actually surprised that {{netscape.com}} still exists and forwards
> to {{aol.com}}, it's been 18 years since the acquisition !)
> The RSS feed from planetnetbeans.org (right side of screenshot) doesn't have
> a DOCTYPE declaration which is why it works.
