Frozen results from RSS widget (wp-includes/rss.php)

Description

WP 2.2 standard RSS widget (wp-includes/rss.php) won't update results when given the following URL: http://www.medworm.com/rss/userss.php?qu=PEDIATRICS&news=on .

You can reproduce by going to admin panel->presentation->widgets, adding a RSS widget to the side panel, and inputting the above given URL into the widget; leave title empty. Save; go to site. The widget does display a list of articles from that URL. But the list won't update on the next day or even next week.

It's my first time submitting a ticket to the bug tracker, so pardon me if this ticket is not perfect.

  • Milestone set to 2.3 (trunk)

I can't get to the medworm.com link — server not found.

  • Milestone changed from 2.3 (trunk) to 2.4 (future)

rob1n, try again. The medworm.com link above opens in either of my FF or IE and shows the list of fresh articles.

B.t.w., I upgraded my WP to 2.1.1 and still see the same problem as reported originally.
