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

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=pla...
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 -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
