Make feed PubSubHubbub enabled

[Michele Azzolari]

I created a branch [1] to make feed PubSubHubbub enabled.

To enable it add these 2 lines to your mediagoblin\_local.ini

push\_enabled = True
push\_url = 'http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'

Stupid question: Why not enable just/when/if the url is set?
Two config settings feels a bit "too much"?

[Michele Azzolari]

Removed one setting. If push\_url is set, we use it

That looks good!
I'll try to merge this tomorrow.

Hi Michele,

I merged your tree (so please do a ``git merge upstream/master`` or
equivalent).

But (and that's the reason I'm not closing the bug):

If the remote server is broken (you can easily test this using
``http://localhost/no-such-file,`` as a ``push_urls`` setting) one
gets a big fat error page (urllib2.HTTPError exception).

I am currently unsure what is the best option for this.

My vote is on "catch the exception and add the stringified version
of the Exception as a message", so the users gets it. Maybe not the
best, but our current userbase will surely know what to do with
such a strange thing.

I pushed the changes to my branch, check it out

[Elrond]

merged!
Great work!
