Re: Syndication and authentication question

I did it like this on economy-chat.com

first.. every link to the feed itself is unique, based on User-ID or session key.

i have the following in my urls.py

(r'^feed/atom/(?P<content_type_id>\d+)/(?P<user_id>\d+)/(?P<hash>.+)/$', 'atomfeed'),

(r'^feed/atom/(?P<session_key>\w+)/$', 'atomfeed'),

and the atomfeed view itself is

def atomfeed(request, content_type_id=None, user_id=None, hash=None, session_key=None ):

if content_type_id is not None and verify_objref_hash( content_type_id, user_id, hash ):

try:

request.user = User.objects.get(pk=user_id)

except (KeyError, User.DoesNotExist):

pass

else:

if session_key:

try:

request.session = Session.objects.get(pk=session_key )

except (KeyError, Session.DoesNotExist):

pass

return buildfeed(request, feedgenerator.Atom1Feed, tag, author)

(where buildfeed would actually generate the XML feed (ala what feedjack http://tabo.aurealsys.com/software/feedjack/ does)

which sets up the session/userid for the rest of the request.

naturally I have the RSS feeds generate the appropriate link on the page in question

for example

I am messing with feeds for the first time with Django and was
wondering if there is anyway to do authentication (i.e. grab the
session) from inside the my Feed class? I followed the high level
framework example from the documentation page if that helps in
understanding how I implemented this feed.
