Unicorn validator does not want to check ATOM feeds

Hi,

The "stand-alone" feed validator (http://validator.w3.org/feed/) works perfectly on ATOM feeds, while the Unicorn-based feed validator (http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/#validate-by-uri+task_feed) reports an error: "The mime-type of your document (application/atom+xml) is unsupported by this task." I suppose there is a media type check that is performed, but shouldn't be.

Thanks,

Ivan

Thanks for the report. I've added application/atom+xml to the list of supported mime-types of the feedvalidator. There might be others that we overlooked so I'll leave this ticket open for now. The update will be pushed soon.

It would be great if the validator could proceed with other checks even if the mime-type is unsupported.
Currently, HTTP validation fails for image/png and application/json too...

This is also true for RSS feeds; The mime-type of your document (application/rss+xml) is unsupported by this task.
