• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Question iTunes Podcast Feeds and HTTP HEAD requests

Gene Steinberg

Regular Pleskian
I'm running a Plesk Linux server with latest Obsidian release.

I've had to do a workaround for the RSS feed for our podcasts due to Apple's requirements that it support HTTP Head Requests.

I've turned off all 301 HTTPS redirects that I can see while still supporting SSL on my sites, but I'm still getting error messages when I try to verify the feeds.

upport for HTTP HEAD requests
The server for your episodes must support “HTTP HEAD requests”, which is a fancy way of saying that iTunes must be able to get information about your files without downloading them whole.

  • Unexpected HTTP code: 301
So what do I change/fix on my server?

Peace,
Gene
