The media_type parameter was recently replaced by media_type_u (for
user mode) and media_type_h (for hashtag mode). This was necessary
in order to add the media type 'story' only for the user mode.
"The reason for that is that RSS-Bridge supports multiple parameters
with the same name if and only if they contain the exact same value.
Here, hashtags don't have stories, so it would not be possible to
pass "story" as a parameter. This is a design mistake that I made
when I added support for hashtags."

However as pointed out this change breaks existing feeds as the
parameter name is no longer compatible to previous implementations.
This commit changes the implementation to provide the old media_type
parameter globally and check for invalid options on each request. If
a user uses the 'story' option in history mode the bridge returns a
client error.

Uses the parse_ini_file function to load default settings from the default configuration file 'config.default.ini.php'. Optionally loads custom settings from 'config.ini.php' to replace the default
values.

Now, entry title is optionnal and may be found in h3 HTML element.
Entry content is mandatory and may be found in div[class="item-content"] HTML element.
Moreover, the title may contain simple quotes (here, encoded) so the bridge have to decode first to apply format library function. In case we don't do that, the format function double encode the quote and something like ' could appear.

NotAlways right found it necessary to remove their RSS feeds recently. This is a *simple* bridge to grab the ones on the front page. It allows you to filter the articles based on their classification (right, working, romantic, related, learning, friendly, hopeless, unfiltered, or all).
The limit was used to specify the number of pages to return from a given
topic which resulted in the number of returned items variing between one
and however many entries are listed on one page.
This commit changes the implementation for the limit to keep loading more
pages until the specified limit is reached. Excessive elements are removed
in order to return the exact amount of items specified by the limit.
This behavior is closer to how other bridges are implemented and makes it
more natural to use without being too confusing. Existing queries must be
updated to account for the new limit.

cURL is a powerful library specifically designed to connect to many
different types of servers with different types of protocols. For
more detailed information refer to the PHP cURL manual:
- http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php
Due to this change some parameters for the getContents function were
necessary (also applies to getSimpleHTMLDOM and getSimpleHTMLDOMCached):
> $use_include_path removed
This parameter has never been used and doesn't even make sense in
this context; If set to true file_get_contents would also search
for files in the include_path (specified in php.ini).
> $context replaced by $header and $opts
The $context parameter allowed for customization of the request in
order to change how file_get_contents would acquire the data (i.e.
using POST instead of GET, sending custom header, etc...)
cURL also provides facilities to specify custom headers and change
how it communicates to severs. cURL, however, is much more advanced.
- $header is an optional parameter (empty by default). It receives
an array of strings to send in the HTTP request header.
See 'CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER':
"An array of HTTP header fields to set, in the format
array('Content-type: text/plain', 'Content-length: 100')"
- php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php
- $opts is an optional parameter (empty by default). It receives
an array of options, where each option is a key-value-pair of
a cURL option (CURLOPT_*) and it's associated parameter. This
parameter accepts any of the CURLOPT_* settings.
Example (sending POST instead of GET):
$opts = array(
CURLOPT_POST => 1,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => '&action=none'
);
$html = getContents($url, array(), $opts);
Refer to the cURL setopt manual for more information:
- php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php
> $offset and $maxlen removed
These options were supported by file_get_contents, but there doesn't
seem to be an equivalent in cURL. Since no caller uses them they are
safe to remove.
Compressed data / Encoding
By using cURL instead of file_get_contents RSS-Bridge no longer has
to handle compressed data manually.
See 'CURLOPT_ENCODING':
"[...] Supported encodings are "identity", "deflate", and "gzip".
If an empty string, "", is set, a header containing all supported
encoding types is sent."
- http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php
Notice: By default all encoding types are accepted (""). This can
be changed by setting a custom option via $opts.
Example:
$opts = array(CURLOPT_ENCODING => 'gzip');
$html = getContents($url, array(), $opts);
Proxy
The proxy implementation should still work, but there doesn't seem
to be an equivalent for 'request_fulluri = true'. To my understanding
this isn't an issue because cURL knows how to handle proxy communication.
