Re: [xwiki-dev] RSS feeds for private wikis

Hi there, It would be nice for xwiki to offer a solution for providing RSS feeds for private wikis. One solution that I've seen used is to generate a unique RSS feed URL per registered user. Here's a security note I've found on a site that does this: " Don't share RSS and iCal links Anyone with the URL to these links can see your posts (via RSS) or milestones (via iCal), so be careful who you share them with (and don't post them on public web-based newsreaders or aggregators such as Bloglines). Also, don't share these links within the company. Each person should login and subscribe to their own personal feed. Should someone else get ahold of your private RSS/iCal URL, just change your password ("Contacts" tab) and a new URL will be generated (you'll need to resubscribe - the old URLs will be invalid. The details: The RSS and iCal links use a unique token in the URL as their only form of authentication. That means anyone with the full address will be able to subscribe to the feeds without logging in. Therefore, you should take care to keep these URLs hidden. " Here are the format of the feed URL on that site: http://learning.something.com/projects/174559/feed/recent_items_rss?token=f4 546fdb83e37546546ghgfddg4&client_id=139454 I think this is a nice solution.
