I'm trying to submit my SoudCloud podcast to iTunes and keep getting error "We had difficulty reading this feed. Bad http result code: -1"

Hello everyone and thank you for your help.

I have a podcast that I am trying to submit to iTunes and it keeps giving me this error "We had difficulty reading this feed. Bad http result code: -1"

I have followed SoundClouds' directions on creating/ submitting and Podcast to itunes, listed here: http://help.soundcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/1321502-using-soundcloud-to- power-your-itunes-podcast

I successfully did it with another Podcast profile and RSS but keep getting the error message for this one: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:142216714/sounds.rss

Can someone please advice?

Thank you!

Trying to access the feed in Safari produced the 'too many redirects' error. FireFox produces the error:

'The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.'

Attempting to use curl in Terminal produced no result at all.

I quote from Safari: "Could not open the page, too many redirects" - Apple Support

'When trying to view a website using Safari, you may see the alert message: "Could not open the page. Too many redirects occurred trying to open (website name)." This might happen if you open a page that is instructed to open another page, which is then instructed to open the original page.'

If that's the issue then you'd have to take this up with Soundcloud. The other suggestion on the page about cookies seems unlikely as I get the same problem you do.

Thank you so much Roger, I figured it was something SoundCloud would have to take care of, since I was having no issues with the other podcast, following exactly the same steps. Hopefully they will one day reply to one of the messages I keep sending them. Thanks for all of your help!
