[TYPO3-ttnews] tt_news, feed does not validate problem with enclosure tags

[Jason Alexander]

Hello all,

So I am pretty new to TypoScript but I had a question regarding the  
tt_news rss feed. When I put the feed into a feed validator  
(feedvalidator.org) I get the following:

Sorry

This feed does not validate.

line 34, column 3: url must be a full URL: https://www.digipen.edu/uploads/media/digipen_podclass_issue_01.mp3 
  (10 occurrences) [help]

           			<enclosure url="https://www.digipen.edu/uploads/media/digipen_podclass_is 
  ...

This is line 34:  <enclosure url="https://www.digipen.edu/uploads/media/digipen_podclass_issue_01.mp3 
" length ="15373824" type="audio/mpeg" />


Here is my TypoScript:

The interesting thing that I found is that we have other feeds setup  
the same exact way as shown above. But without mp3's in the enclosure  
tag and it validates just fine. But these podcasts don't validate. I  
have found a fee posts, and have followed a few of your guys  
tutorials. I can eventually get the feed to validate, but it ends up  
with some kind of parsing error. Please any advice would help greatly.  
I feel like I have exhausted my resources in trying to solve this. I  
find it interesting that when you look at the source code to the xml  
feed. The enclosure tag seems validate.

Thanks in advance,

Jason
