There's a particular type of person that scours their HTTP logs and makes up rules that block 90% of feed readers using the default poll interval. If I stick your RSS feed into Miniflux and I get 429'd, I just stop reading your blog. Learn2cache. I'm talking to you, Cheapskate's Guide.
- Kudos 2y agoThis site would not 429 current Miniflux, since it makes conditional requests. She has a previous post outlining cache respecting behaviour of many common feed readers.
- Kwpolska 2y agoIt could 429 it for conditional requests as well: > Unconditional requests: at most once per 24 hour period. > Conditional requests: at most once per 60 minute period. (Source: calling `curl hxxps://rachelbythebay[.]com/w/atom.xml` twice)
- ncallaway 2y ago> Learn2cache I find this a particularly amusing comment, given that the main complaint is about feed reader's not sending conditional requests. Learn2cache indeed, feed reader authors.
