Hi guys I've been using this feed for a while and its stopped working XML Error: Mismatched tag at Line 8

https://opentrackers.org/feed/

I still have feeds from other sites running fine and I emailed the site owner he said it my end that's the problem.

Well, I know what's wrong, sort of, but not how to fix it. The reason you're getting that message is because what's being returned is not the feed xml but this message:
<html>
<head><title>400 The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<center><h1>400 Bad Request</h1></center>
<center>The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port</center>
<hr><center>cloudflare-nginx</center>
</body>
</html>

and the reason you get that is because the vbulletin rss feed poster tried to make an SSL (https) connection using curl (a php library for connecting to other servers), and failed for some unknown reason. It then tried a different way, but apparently the different way doesn't support https, so it's causing that error.

I'm going to look at it a little more, and I'll let you know if I can figure anything out.

Make sure you have cURL with SSL installed. Though its also possible you tried to pull the HTTP feed and the system doesn't support the redirect.

I tried to do some more debugging and found I was getting this message:
error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

and I don't know how to debug that any further, but I thought I'd post it in case it helps someone else (although there's no guarantee that I'm having the same issue madness85 is having). It might have something to do with SSL versions, like if the remote server isn't allowing SSL3 and there's no other alternative configured, but that's just a guess.
