hi matthew,
thanks for your reply. however, i noticed that Zend_Http does the trick
with the timeout for me as well. my main problem remains: as
Zend_Feed:importString appearantly only accepts a PHP string, I don't
know how to create a feed from a Zend_Http_Response object, a SimpleXML
object, or a complete string with the source code of the feed. does
anyone know how to use Zend_Feed together with those response types?
thanks again!

is there a possibility to combine zend_feed with curl? the problem i
encounter is that some of the external feeds i try to fetch are offline
a lot of the time. for that reason, i'd like to use curl (with an option
to timeout properly) to retrieve the feed contents. i'd see
Zend_Feed::importString($curlResult) would do the trick, but it doesn't
work. perhaps adding a functionality to zend_feed for using it with curl
is something for the future? does anyone have any other solutions to
face this problem?
There's a curl adapter for Zend_Http_Client in the incubator currently,
but it isn't completely tested or documented. If you would like to
contribute to that effort, you'd be able to use Zend_Feed with curl by
using the Curl adapter to Zend_Http_Client.
