Hmm, that does present a problem. You could get creative with hosts file
routing..

Title:
Allow to add feeds from the local file system

Status in RSS Feed Reader application for Ubuntu devices:
Confirmed

Bug description:
Currently, autopilot tests add a feed from www.canonical.com. That's
bad because it makes the test depend on external resources that we
don't control, and it also make the tests slow because they have to
access the internet.

It would be great if we could add also a feed from the local file
system, so in the Add feeds screen, instead of entering
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248737 we would enter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248737

This will simplify the tests a lot. There might be tools to resolve
http:// and file:// addresses, so this might not be hard to do
implement, but I'm not sure about that.

And, there might be people keeping their rss feeds in the local system
too. I suppose this is not common, but I'm sure this won't be just a
testability feature, some people will find it useful.
