nodebb-plugin-rss: getaddrinfo enotfound

JJSagan

Hi Devs,

Decided to give the RSS feed a try. Installation whet fine, however regardless of the RSS feed address, I am getting the following error message:

"getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND query.yahooapis.com query.yahooapis.com:443"

I am synced to master, nodejs is 10.15.0 (lts), running on AWS linux.

Pinging the hostname works fine.

my /etc/hosts does contain localhost, as follows:

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thank you!
JJ.

thank you @The-Worms I was going crazy trying to figure out what's wrong with my setup.

It seems that the plugin code needs a revision so it may store the username/password needed for yahoo authentication, as well as the new endpoint correct?

Is there another endpoint that does not require authentication?
