Enhancing FreshRSS with rssCloud Support

I’ve been using FreshRSS for a while as a backend for NetNewsWire and decided to finally create an extension to add rssCloud support.

This not only does what you’d expect: subscribe to feeds that support rssCloud elements. But it also supports subscribing via HTTPS when port 443 or the protocol “https-post” are specified. It even looks for the latest and greatest element from Dave Winer’s source namespace.

But wait, there’s more!

Since FreshRSS supports subscribing to an OPML file, I’ll even look for a element on OPML files and subscribe for real-time updates. This is super handy if you want to subscribe to the OPML feed for the super cool I RSS directory!
