Rome Fetcher To Do List

Please discuss items here on the rome dev mailing list

• Automatically update the default User-Agent version number via the build Done: 23-June-2004
• Listener Architecture (for URL changes via 3xx redirection etc) Done: 30-June-2004
• RSS Redirection
• Unit Tests: smart unit tests along the lines of Mark Pilgrim's tests, in his Python Universal Feed Parser. He instantiates a web server to a local directory where the samples live, and then fetches the feeds from the server, which allows him to test in depth the behavior of gzip compression and etags handling. Done 30-June-2004
• Better character encoding handling - See http://diveintomark.org/archives/2004/02/13/xml-media-types
