Describe the bug

During bulk archive using a RSS feed, app fails.
Fails during import of a Pinboard RSS feed, with this error:

[!] Failed to download https://feeds.pinboard.in/rss/secret:SECRET/u:USERNAME/t:TAGNAME
'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 1779: character maps to <undefined>

Note
Personal/private Pinboard RSS feeds are accessible by anyone if the secret is known.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Ran ArchiveBox with default config for a Pinboard RSS URL
  2. Saw this output during archiving 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 1779: character maps to <undefined>
  3. UI didn't show the thing I was expecting

Not sure if this will rise up for someone else, however I was able to resolve my problem by requesting the archive using docker-compose.
Closing this issue, as it is no longer remain applicable.
