  feed_content_type?(url)
end

#looks_like_feed?(url) ⇒ Boolean

Determines if the specified URL looks like a feed. We consider it does if:

- it ends with a 'feed-suffix': .rdf, .xml, .rss
- it contains a 'feed=rss' or 'feed=atom' query param (well, we don't check
  if it is really a query param, as long as it is in the URL)
- it ends with 'atom' or 'feed' (with or without the '/' at the end)

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
