Question

Hello!

I use RSS Popper which is a news feed add-in for Outlook & Outlook Express. It works great for Webs that don't have access restrictions. Once I set "!AllowTopicView" to a certain Group, it fails.

Is there a setting Í did not find yet? Does a workaround exist? Do i have to modify WebRss?

I think i read somewhere about RSS and Access-Control but do not find it anymore :-/

Thank u for help and ideas!

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

That is the spec of TWiki, TWiki tries to authenticate the user if needed (e.g. if a topic has an access restriction. You can do a workaround by generating a static RSS feed as described in HowToCacheRssFeedsWithRewriteRule. The cron job would do an authenticate access every time; users would access the static RSS URL (or even the TWiki view URL with an Apache rewrite rule.)
