Feed: 403 despite visible in browser

Add-ons Bindings
#1

I have installed the Feed binding via PaperUI

I left the BBC thing, and a rPi thing for the Raspbery Pi RSS feed:

Thing feed:feed:bbc			[ URL="http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/news_front_page/rss.xml?edition=uk"]
Thing feed:feed:rpi			[ URL="https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/feed/"]

The BBC feed works… the rPi returns a warning HTTP 403

2019-09-28 14:22:32.480 [WARN ] [ng.feed.internal.handler.FeedHandler] - Error accessing feed: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/feed/
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/feed/

        at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.java:62) ~[?:?]

… yet the same link works in a browser. Changing it to http (instead of https) does not make a difference.

Any ideas?

The tags on the rPi feed also look different to the BBC tags:

	<title>Raspberry Pi Blog &#8211; Raspberry Pi</title>
	<atom:link href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />

Looks like I am missing something?!

I have exactly the same problem. Newsfeed in Germany is working, your example and my intended feed is not. Can’t share the example because it’s private.
Any help or hints to starting points are much appreciated.
