Hi,

Im trying to get use of the general RSS feed on the 1.4.0 release. however i'm not being able to read anything that requires authentication. In other words the RSS feed only loads the things that an unregistered user could see.

I am using an RSS client that allows me to setup the credentials in the form:

http://user:password@mysite.com/members/?type=rss2&forum=g&topic=g

but is not able to do it. Even if I try that on a browser It does'nt fetch the feed for the user.

Any help?

Hi OliverS,

This is a public RSS feed. It doesn't support user/pass authorization. It includes all non-private content for SE robots and for feed subscribers.

Thanks Robert,

Unfortunately in my forum almost all content is private.

As suggestion, there are ways to create RSS feeds that supports authentication. or create random tokens for RSS feeds  from the logged account.

give a look to this:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2100979/how-to-authenticate-an-rss-feed

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2839553/asp-net-mvc-how-does-one-add-authentication-to-rss-feeds

Maybe a next release.

Thanks for all the work!

The RSS feature is completely useless if we can not access registered members only feeds!
Please add the ability to view login registered members RSS. Our entire forum is private.

Our admin needs to see entire posts in a nice list and we have no ability to do this except to click on each new forum post.

Hi kaydev,

This is already in our to-do list.
