hook_aggregator_fetch($feed)

Implement this hook to create an alternative fetcher for aggregator module.

A fetcher downloads feed data to a Drupal site. The fetcher is called at the first of the three aggregation stages: data is downloaded by the active fetcher, it is converted to a common format by the active parser and finally, it is passed to all active processors which manipulate or store the data.

Modules that define this hook can be set as active fetcher on admin/config/services/aggregator. Only one fetcher can be active at a time.
