Git Pull Request:
Reproduction steps:
1.) Use a vanilla Sp15. Start the portal and create a site and a page.
2.) Drop an RSS portlet on the page.
Configure these two feeds :
http://www.lemonde.fr/rss/une.xml
http://www.jeuneafrique.com/feed
Result: The first one works perfectly (as well as most feeds I have used until now), but the second one fails with
http://www.jeuneafrique.com/feed cannot be found.
Some websites expect a user-agent string in the request, otherwise they won't serve the RSS feed and return a 403 error instead.
Remark: In this case, the user-agent is included in the request but the failing URL does not accept the version (IE6). You can reproduce it with a dev tool (e.g. User Agent Switcher for Chrome) by switching to IE6. Newer user-agents work.
