Description Eike Hein 2010-02-22 14:41:55 UTC 
Using version 1.6.0 in KDE 4.4, which isn't available in the Bugzilla version selection unfortunately.

Bringing up the "Add Feed" dialog and pasting http://multimedia.cx/eggs/, Akregator is unable to discover a feed there, despite several having been specified in the header:

	<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="http://multimedia.cx/eggs/feed/" />
	<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="http://multimedia.cx/eggs/feed/rss/" />
	<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="http://multimedia.cx/eggs/feed/atom/" />

That's because it fails on self-closed link tags. Any of them, I think.
And, well, discovery is done by a nightmarish regex which, while being in no way related to the autodiscovery link syntax (I think it just searches for 'rel="alternate" href='), is totally incorrect, because while it has more than 100 symbols, it is still very error-prone and, as we see here, fails on quite common cases.
It is in kde4pimlibs::syndication/loader.cpp::Loader::discoverFeeds(), by the way.

Work fine here.
Reopen if it breaks again in last version
