Summary of the issue you are facing:

The feeds in the news app stopped updating. I get the following error for all feeds, or when I try to add a new feed:

cURL error 56: Received HTTP code 405 from proxy after CONNECT

I checked connectivity to the feeds from the server I get the correct response using curl -L {feed-url} for all the feeds. No recent changes in my server settings. I tried to update feeds using occ but that also fails with the same error. And a couple with 404 not found:

Client error: `GET http://lxer.com/module/newswire/headlines.rss` resulted in a `404 Not Found` response:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Found (truncated...)

Common theme for these is that they are permanently moved links, so I can only access to them using -L option with curl.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. Upgrade News App to 25.3.1

Web Browser

If the problem is related to the Web interface, open your browser inspector Console and Network tabs while refreshing (reloading) and reproducing the problem. Provide any relevant output/errors here that appear.

PASTE

Web server / Reverse Proxy

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____:

Configuration

Nextcloud

The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):

The output of occ app:list (if possible).

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.

I had this problem as well and was able to resolve it by removing the line in my config.php that was setting proxy equal to an empty string. I assume that isn’t the default anymore and was causing the feed update to attempt to use a non-existent proxy.

Thank you! It worked like a charm!
