Hi we can't fix this at the moment.
We would need to upgrade feed-io and drop support for older php versions.

@Grotax we did this now right?

I don't think so feed-io was not upgraded in a while, even downgraded one time since it brought a regression.

I think feed-io 6 might fix this but it requires changes to how feed-io is initialized since it uses this pluggable http client concept.

But I'm not a 100% in this topic.

Upgrade to feed-io 6 is definitely a topic to be done at some point though.

Upgrade to feed-io 6 is definitely a topic to be done at some point though.

I once tested feed-io 6
But I failed use User-Agent for HttplugClient alexdebril/feed-io#421
Maybe I did something wrong. I did not continue testing feed-io 6
Some RSS feeds require the correct User-Agent.
When switching to feed-io 6, you should pay attention to this. And you may have to create a PR for feed-io 6
