NetNewsWire: Feed not found if no `` start tag is present
NetNewsWire doesn’t appear to find feeds if there’s no <head> start tag:
- Failure: https://hell.meiert.org/temp/netnewswire/failure.html
- Success: https://hell.meiert.org/temp/netnewswire/success.html
The failure case is valid HTML, however, and therefore it would be useful if NetNewsWire would not rely on <head> to locate feeds.
(Thanks @danburzo for alerting me about this.)

@ottumm Works if adding to NetNewsWire directly instead of using a Feedly account in NetNewsWire.
Our error reporting could make it clear that it’s a Feedly issue. We should also report the bug to Feedly.
You can migrate a little at a time. You can add iCloud (or whatever account type) and keep using Feedly for as long as you want to.
I misdiagnosed earlier — the actual feed URL is https://blueskiesdaily.com/feed/
@pketh Is there any chance you’re trying to add this to a Feedly account in NetNewsWire? We’ve seen a Feedly bug where that doesn’t always work. If not, what kind of account are you using?
https://blueskiesdaily.com/feed.xml redirects to http://blueskiesdaily.com/feed.xml — which redirects to https://blueskiesdaily.com/feed.xml — it’s a redirect loop. Server error.
We’re bailing early on the failure page because we explicitly check for a
<body>inisProbablyHTML. Even without that, I don’t think we search past<head>, so it looks like there are at least two places to fix.
