Mishandling of Malformed Killmails

[MiloC]

Not too sure how fixable this is. May require input on CCP's end:

I've noticed a few killmails cropping up here modules show under 'implant' on a ship, rather than in their assigned slot. (Example here)

This does appear to be something coming through w/ CREST:

Would it be possible to remove the (Implant) tag on entries than are definitely not implants (i.e. '50MN Y-T8 Compact Microwarpdrive (Implant)') to avoid this when parsing malformed killmails?

Hi,

this is a problem specific to eve-kill. I strongly advise not to fetch from eve-kill anymore, but to use either beta.eve-kill.net or zkillboard.com.
I'm not particularly happy about introducing a fix for the misbehavior of one site.
And I also strongly advise to no longer use killmails in any form. It's a lossy format for transporting kills that is easily manipulated, CREST links offer all features to completely eliminate the need for killmails. In fresh EDK installations posting of Killmails is disabled by default.

I disabled manual posting for anything but CREST a while ago. Is this kind of error coming exclusively from http://eve-kill.net/?a=idfeed?

Correct, that's what I meant to explain.

not sure how i missed that. updated! i removed manual links and only allow crest links since the option was available. i failed to however update the feed url to reflect the beta version of eve-kill.

Hi,

beta.eve-kill.net is a variant of zKillboard. So no more Feed Syndication for that, but zKB Fetch.
