Using MW 1.17 but it doesn't work, not even on mediawiki.org altho {{OnWikimedia}} is used. Example: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:RSS#Failed_to_load_RSS_feed
Works for me http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Reedy/Test It's actually a site issue, I'd guess, as I'm guessing the servers won't be able to directly reach the outside world Which is a site issue, not an extension issue
I don't want to fetch MW feeds, I want the whole interweb! :P Random RSS feeds: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Subfader/RSS None works. Error parsing XML for RSS Error fetching URL: connect() timed out! Error fetching URL: couldn't connect to host It's not a site issue. It works with an older Extension:RSS version using MagpieRSS. Epic fail imo.
The configuration is probably not set up with the correct proxy.
Sam, CommonSettings.php seems to allow $wmgRSSAllowedFeeds, but I can't tell what is in that variable.
In RSS.php at the end, or in your LocalSettings.php after loading the extension via require_once( RSS.php ) you need perhaps to set your proxy through // Proxy server to use for fetching feeds $wgRSSProxy = false;

I check the RSS Feeds on my server, and must admit, that - the extension in version 1.8 does not work for all kind and flavours of RSS Feeds - your observations are correct - comparing the rendering of your feed list on mediawiki.org and on my server, it is apparent, that site issues (time-out settings, proxy) are minor part of the issue, and that - the extension still needs to be improved, especially in to avoid "Error parsing XML for RSS" I change the bug subject to include that.

set to high importance. Yes, it is.

(keep-alive message: I am working on a solution. The problem comes from the XML parser, which fails to render a huge group of non-RSS feeds.)
fixed in r112465 .
