New way to read XML feeds in River5, see first comment for pointer to context

readXmlFeed.js

function readXmlFeed (urlfeed) { //1/16/18 by DW
	//Instead of processing items as they come in, gather them into an array, and process them at the end. 
	var req = myRequestCall (urlfeed);
	var feedparser = new FeedParser ();
	var feedItems = new Array ();
	req.on ("response", function (response) {
		var stream = this;
		serverStats.ctActiveThreads--;
		if (response.statusCode == 200) {
			stream.pipe (feedparser);
			}
		else {
			feedError ("readFeed: response.statusCode == " + response.statusCode);
			}
		});
	req.on ("error", function (res) {
		feedError ();
		});
	feedparser.on ("readable", function () {
		try {
			var item = this.read (), flnew;
			if (item !== null) { //2/9/17 by DW
				processFeedItem (item);
				feedItems.push (item);
				}
			}
		catch (err) {
			myConsoleLog ("readXmlFeed: error == " + err.message);
			}
		});
	feedparser.on ("error", function () {
		feedError ();
		});
	feedparser.on ("end", function () {
		getFeedRiver (urlfeed, function (jstruct) { //make sure the feed's river is loaded in cache
			myConsoleLog ("readXmlFeed: feedItems.length == " + feedItems.length);
			for (var i = 0; i < feedItems.length; i++) {
				processFeedItem (feedItems [i]);
				}
			finishFeedProcessing ();
			});
		});
	}
