    externalfeed: use an empty user agent (bug #807341)
    
    There seems to be some kind of weird caching problems when using
    feedburner feeds which I suspect might be related to how Feedburner
    looks at the user agent of the client and returns different data
    depending on the user agent.
    
    Sending an empty user agent seems to work around these problems.

Title:
  Feedburner feeds are not updating properly

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Version: both 1.4_STABLE and master

  This looks like it might have something to do with feedburner.com
  sniffing user agents because as soon as I add this news.com.au to the
  block, I get a list of articles that's different from what I see when
  I open the feed in Firefox:

    http://feeds.feedburner.com/newscomaubreakingndm?format=xml

  This feed however, which doesn't use Feedburner, works fine:

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/rss/

  I've put both of them on a new page on mahara.org:
