    Your solution is very nice. Do you have any idea how you could get thru a authenticated http proxy?



    would be very nice.

      What do you mean?

      To collect RSS feeds behind authentication??

      Like the Connections RSS?

      In our situation we use RNews to collect all RSS feeds (also the authenticated).

      And this RSS control the rss feeds from our RNews.



      I will have a look if it's possible to collect a RSS feed, with username and password.

        I mean connecting to the RSS feeds through a HTTP PROXY that requires authentication. Most large companies filter internet access with an authenticated HTTP PROXY to be able to track users internet usage.



        I also need being able to connect to RSS feeds that handle user authentication, and return different data depending on user's privileges. I m not very aware about secure RSS, but i suppose we need to have a way to handle user authentication.



        Thanks for what you already did, and hope you can perhaps further improve your great component.

          Hi,



          This weekend I made a enhancement to the control. Today I was able to test behind a proxy.

          It works.

          In the component there will be 4 new parameters

          • proxy url
          • port
          • username
          • password



            The java code will check if a proxy url is provided. If so, then connect through proxy otherwise normal connection.

            And if you provide a user name and password, there will be a authenticated connection.



            And last but not least, the java code will return a Vector, with all the entries in hashtables. So you are able to define the layout and style by yourself.

            So there is no need to enter the javacode anymore.



            This week I will zip all the files and upload a new version, when I can find some time.

            I will blog it on our blog ( http://www.domino-weblog.nl )
