Updated my app from v5.0.3 to 6.0.1 and suddenly getting this from some user logs:

Fatal Exception: com.prof18.rssparser.exception.HttpException:
       at com.prof18.rssparser.internal.JvmXmlFetcher$await$2$2.onResponse(JvmXmlFetcher.kt:48)
       at okhttp3.internal.connection.RealCall$AsyncCall.run(RealCall.kt:519)

       at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:923)

I've not been able to reproduce it yet, but over 100 crash events reported in Crashlytics

Hi,
that's an expected behaviour. This exception happens if the URL returns an HTTP error not in the range from 200 to 299. The logic didn't change with the new release

@prof18 how can I catch it so it doesn't crash the app? I'm already doing:

try {
    val channel = parser.getRssChannel(feed.url)
} catch (e: Exception) {
    println(e.message)
}

yet the app is crashing

You can catch it with HttpException or Throwable!

But, I realized that HttpException extends Throwable and not Exception, that's because your try/catch didn't catch the exception. I will release a bugfix ASAP.

Thanks for reporting!
