Connection error: "org.jsoup.UnsupportedMimeTypeException: Unhandled content type"

When I try to open a link to parse with jsoup I get an error.

Connection command: 

Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://www.rfi.ro/podcast/emisiune/174/feed.xml")
                .timeout(10 * 1000).get();

Errors thrown:

Exception in thread "main" org.jsoup.UnsupportedMimeTypeException: Unhandled content type. Must be text/*, application/xml, or application/xhtml+xml. Mimetype=application/rss+xml; charset=utf-8, URL=http://www.rfi.ro/podcast/emisiune/174/feed.xml

Solution

  • Use ignoreContentType() (see doc here):

    String myURL = "http://www.rfi.ro/podcast/emisiune/174/feed.xml";
Document pod = Jsoup.connect(myURL).ignoreContentType(true).get();
