Here is the message I have posted:
My site running Moodle 2.3.6+ (Build: 20130328), Using Firefox V19.0.
I Create new remote RSS feed block ->Configure Remote news feed block->add/edit feed->add a new feed.
Copy this Feed ULR from Google(my case)  and paste to Feed URL field. After click Add a new feed button, I got this error message:
Feed URL
Error loading this RSS feed (cURL Error: Failed to connect to 2404:6800:4006:801::1009: Network is unreachable)
Why is that? Please help.

Hi Chen, The error displayed tells that Moodle can't connect to the url specified, because of a network issue.

Please check that you can connect to the IP address specified (I have also tried the same url as mentioned by you but it give me the following error.)

 

However, I can connect normally with http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mobilecrunch as test feeds. So, please check a correct url for RSS feeds.

Thanks for your reply Jaswinder Singh.

I try another feed URL, which is this one:

timesonline.co.uk/tol/feeds/rss/tech.xml

Now I get this error message:
Feed URLRequired field

Error loading this RSS feed (cURL Error: connect() timed out!)

Any ideas?

I have the same issue, I have installed moodle 2.6.2, the weird thing was that the RSS block was functioning perfectly but suddenly stop working, I thought that it was something wrong with the url so I tried with a new one (and also I tried with a lot of url rss feeds) and the result was the same, an error about and unreachable Network.

 (cURL Error: Failed to connect to 2607:f8b0:4007:804::100e: Network is unreachable)

I hope that some has an answer regarding this issue.

Hi,

I am having a similar problem here.
When I try to add a new RSS feed I get the error message:
"Error loading this RSS feed (cURL Error: name lookup timed out)"

Any update about this issue?

Thank you in advance.

find the code in /block/rss_client/block_rss_client

and replace

$link = new moodle_url($link);

to

$link = htmlspecialchars_decode($link);

This didn't work for me. I made the suggested changes in the file above and it didn't help. Feedburner worked but not my sites rss url: http://mysite.com/blog?format=feed&type=rss

I get this error when I tried to add my site feed:

Error loading this RSS feed (cURL Error: Error while processing content unencoding: invalid block type)
