intertwingly

Jeff Waugh [via IRC]: what do you think about configuring reading lists the same way as feeds, and sniffing their content?

In order to support FOAF properly, and allow for other formats, need to do something along these lines anyway.  I’m not exactly a fan of sniffing, but I am realistic enough that MIME types will probably never catch on in the either the OPML or FOAF communities (in the latter case, the issue is that the same MIME type can be used for RSS 1.0 feeds as FOAF documents).

But ultimately, I’d like to support MIME headers, but for now, I’ll provide a way for the mime header to be overridden in the configuration file.

So before:

# Reading lists, one per line, indented
reading_lists =
  http://share.opml.org/opml/top100.opml

And now:

[http://share.opml.org/opml/top100.opml]
content_type = opml

Meanwhile, I’ve committed FOAF support.
