[Bug 847878] [NEW] pubsubhubbub support for externalfeed blocktype

 

Public bug reported:

As pubsubhubbub (http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/) becomes more
and more popular (e.g. supported by google reader, blogger, wordpress)
we might consider supporting it as well. The idea is that when the
remote feed is using the publishing hub (that is a part of feed xml
spec. now), the new post will cause the hub to feedback subscribers by
touching the specified link with pre-defined parameter so that
subscriber will be aware that the feed has been updated and reload it
(as opposed to blind check of the feed each hour that we normally do).
The subscriber php library (http://github.com/lxbarth/PuSHSubscriber)
also available.
