#18505 new defect (bug)

http 404 sent for the RSS feed when there are no posts - should be 200

Description

for sites with no posts, the HTTP status code returned for the RSS feed is 404, but since the address was a valid address and it just happens that the content is empty, a 200 status should be sent.

(It annoys link checkers which then report that there are broken link at the site because by default for most themes there is a link to the RSS feed in the header)

Related: #17316 and its subsequent changeset at [18192].

I wonder if including is_feed() in that conditional block will fix this issue?
