12059	fetch_feed($feedURL) throws an error when passed a bad feed...	wickedbrilliant		"If I call fetch_feed on a URL that is not a properly formed RSS feed, I don't generate any errors until I call a method on it, such as 
$feed->get_item_quantity()
at which point it throws:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_item_quantity()

It doesn't seem to repond to:
if ($feed->error())
{
	echo $feed->error();
}

It would be nice if it failed quietly || returned false || returned some sort of error object. As it stands right now there is no way to catch errors.

Try it:
$feed = fetch_feed(""http://www.espn.com/blah.htm"");
$feed->get_item_quantity();"	defect (bug)	closed	normal		Feeds	2.9	normal	worksforme	fetch, feed
