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 -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@ http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users Hi Sergiu, it does not validate. However, RSS feeds ARE still working on our two *development* instances (not production); and those URLs do not validate either. I am checking with my the server administrators; they might have changed a security setting, or something like that, on the production server.
