feed-max-size
and feed-max-size-ips
This is all because LiveJournal has undocumented size limits on incoming syndication feeds, limits that DWiki can easily blow past. Since I actually wanted LiveJournal to be able to get syndication feeds from me, DWiki has grown two new configuration settings.
feed-max-size
is an integer kilobytes. It is a rough limit on how
large any feed can be; once DWiki generates a feed that is this many
kilobytes or larger it stopps adding more entries, regardless of the
setting for atomfeed-display-howmany
. If unset, there is no size
limit.
feed-max-size-ips
restricts feed-max-size
to the whitespace
separated list of IP addresses or tcpwrappers style IP address
prefixes (eg '66.150.15.
' to get all of 66.150.15.*
).
Syndication fetches from other addresses will behave as if there was
no feed-max-size
.
Strictly speaking, feed-max-size
limits only the size of the
atom::pages
or atom::comments
output to that size. Whatever else
is tacked on to make up a feed (hopefully not very big) will add some
extra size.
Moral: undersize feed-max-size
a bit. For LiveJournal, the limit is
apparently 150 kilobytes (currently), so setting it to '120' or so
should provide a comfortable safety margin.
Although I'm not entirely fond of this (to put it one way), the documentation has been updated appropriately, making this feature more or less official.
