Maintenance Scripts Inadvertently Change Feeds Upon 302 Redirects to FeedBurner #695

Description

@michaelnordmeyer

By using curl -L and following all redirects, some feeds will be changed to FeedBurner, because curl doesn't distinguish between 301 and 302, and some people have their feeds temporarily redirected to FeedBurner for analytics and maybe ad insertion.

If the feeds have been changed to the FeedBurner URL, those entries will only display the FeedBurner domain feeds.feedburner.com, which you can see in the Kagi's Smallweb OPML.

Given that FeedBurner, as a Google product, most likely does some tracking in one way or another, it is advisable to include any FeedBurner feeds in the smallweb index.
