# Code review
#
# This seems really verbose...seems that there should be a simpler way to conditionally set
# the value of a variable. I would like to write something like:
# body = post.get_formatted_body || ""
#
# That fails when the post is nil. This helper has to deal with a nil post object being passed in
# so I added the .nil? check. This is a contrived version of the situation I have, so don't
# nitpick the details.

This is a simple sinatra feedburner proxy.  This technique can be used for getting around firewalls and things of that nature.

To use it, you can just `ruby feedburner_proxy.rb` at the cli and then navigate to `http://localhost:4567/FEED_URL`.
e.g. `http://localhost:4567/expectedbehavior` or `http://localhost:4567/jqr`, which will then pull down 
'http://feeds2.feedburner.com/expectedbehavior' and 'http://feeds2.feedburner.com/jqr', respectively.
