AW: [rt-users] RSS Feed Permissions/Authentication problem (Repost)
Hi there, does anybody have any idea here, would it be possible to move the RSS streams to HTTP Basic Authentication? In advance, I apologize for not having tested this myself with RT. The following is just wild guessing but it's probably the way I'd try to go if I had to (and I actually do so in other frameworks): You could try to retrieve the RSS data off-line by means of some command-line tool. Then let your WWW server do the authentication. I am using a method called screen scraping by means of Perl's WWW::Mechanize. WWW::Mechanize is old but still does a good job. http://www.google.com/search?q=WWW%3A%3AMechanize+Screen+scraping This is an interesting idea, I will think about this. Nevertheless I would prefer it, if RT would support HTTP Basic Auth for RSS Feeds out of the box, it shouldn't be that hard to implement (if one knows RT and Perl that is ;-)). I doubt, that the RSS feeds are useable within the average RSS client across the board, except perhaps the browser-integrated ones where you explicitly authenticate yourself beforehand. But then, if I have to go to the RT site to use the RSS feeds in the first place, many of the RSS advantages are gone. Let alone the usability problems for the average management guy...

[rt-users] RSS Feed Permissions/Authentication problem (Repost)
Hello everybody, does anybody have any idea here, would it be possible to move the RSS streams to HTTP Basic Authentication? Old post: | Is there a way to load the RSS feeds of RT within a RSS Reader without | having to use the form based authentication beforehand? | | In my case here I have tried adding a Ticket Feed to the Outlook of my | boss, which can't load the feed because of missing authentication | (obviously). Other RSS Readers could have the same problem, I'd suspect.
