When using the latest formal release 6.2.2 or beta 6.3 or 6.5b1 release the following RSS feed does not work:
http://volkskrant.nl/rss/laatstenieuws.rss  (latest headlines in Dutch)

Did some checking with older versions:
- With 6.0.2 this RSS feed works 
- With 6.1.1 this RSS feed works
- With 6.2.0 this RSS feed works
- With 6.2.1 and newer releases this RSS feed does not work.

I get the message "Failed to retrieve RSS feed"
When entering the URL in the server settings it does retrieve the title from this RSS feed from the newspaper site.
When going on the Squeezebox to plugins- Rss Feeds I see the URL of the feed instead of the title which is normal.

This feed uses a redirect which was broken in 6.2.2.  The new RSS plugin in 6.3 handles redirects.  I tested and this feed works in 6.3.  I'm going to mark this bug as a duplicate of bug 3242.
