After some frustration it appears the site I'm trying to get content from the new england journal of medicine (e.g. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1306065) won't talk to browsers at all unless they go accept cookies - which seems to pose a problem. Even if following a link to a specific page you have to go through 2 redirects and only pass if cookies are accepted.

It seems trivial to fix if using curl to do the downloading, just adding two lines. But the function within tt-rss doesn't currently.

Not accepting cookies might not affect anyone else - but was quite tricky to find out this was the problem & may be the reason that other people's seemingly correct xpaths don't work.

I'm not sure if this might be a problem with @gothfox fetch_file_contents() method instead of FeedMod. And I don't like the idea of implementing an own fetch method...
