This issue is made to document that reddit either RSS or plain downloading of pages is broken in latests version of golang. Eigher 429 or 403 is answered depending on the variations.

The fix is as follow:

//this one is needed because of incompatibility between latest golang and reddit
defaultClient = http.Client{
Transport: &http.Transport{TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{},},
}
