Hi,
Is there a way to subscribe to RSS feed in a totally protected XWiki
(only
log-in page described to anonymous)? E.g. with MS Outlook?
I used common feed list approach described here
http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/01/23/a-screencast-about-common-feeds-in-vista/
I'm able to see items when the feed is imported to outlook the first
time,
but then I do not get the updates.
And here's
http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/03/27/authenticated-rss-feeds/
where I found people discussing subscription to a password protected
feed.

Other than configuring the feed reader to use a certain username and
password, you must also alter a bit the RSS URL by appending
&basicauth=1 as a query string parameter.
For example, for the blog feed, use:
http://xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Blog/GlobalBlogRss?xpage=plain&basicauth=1
instead of:
http://xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Blog/GlobalBlogRss?xpage=plain
Does this solve your problem?

Hi Sergiu,
For about a month, I have been happily getting watchlist updates from a
private RSS feed by appending &basicauth=1.
My feed URL is in the following format:
http://subdomain.domain.com:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/WatchListRss?xpage=plain&outputSyntax=plain&basicauth=1
Sometime this week, it suddenly stopped working. I deleted the feed and
tried to re-create it, but each time, I get the error "Outlook cannot
process the RSS content from [feed URL]. The link may not point to a valid
RSS source."
I am using Outlook 2010 for RSS feeds and Internet Explorer 9 for browsing.
(I cannot change these tools; they are our corporate standards.) We are
currently running XWIKI 4.2 milestone 1.
Do you have any ideas about why basic authentication might *suddenly* stop
working -- or only work intermittently?
Thanks!
Lisa
I'm not sure it's the auth part that's broken. Try to open the URL in a
browser and then validate its output, for example using
http://validator.w3.org/appc/#validate_by_input
