Feedburner With CNAME Redirection

[nathanhammond]

There is a scenario with the Feedburner Plugin grabbing the information from the Awareness API that fails. If you set a CNAME redirected URL as your Feedburner URL the dashboard widget fails to connect.

My feeds are set up like so:

feeds CNAME feeds.feedburner.com.
http://feeds.example.com/burnedfeed

On this line:

$awareness_api = 'http://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?uri=' . $feed_url;

$feed_url is:

http://feeds.example.com/burnedfeed

When it needs to be:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/burnedfeed

My quick fix was to do this inline:

str_replace('example.com', 'feedburner.com', $feed_url);

A real solution would actually let the user inform the Feedburner plugin that they're using CNAME redirection and build the $feed_url variable that way.
