Unable to access secure feed

Postby bluedog » Wed May 18, 2005 7:30 am

Repro:
1. Create a feed on intranet site
2. Require authentication for the feed (i.e. Windows/NTLM identity needed, anonymous is not allowed)
3. Attempt to download the feed using intraVnews
a. specify http:// url
b. select secure feed, use windows credentials

Result:
intraVnews reports \"No links found\" or \"No content received\"

Repro #2:
same as above, but use https:// address
ssl certificate is published by intranet server, since this an server that serves both intra and extra sites, the cert available from the intranet side throws up a warning (site name does not match cert name) when viewed in browser.

Result #2:
The valid \"invalid\" cert causes intraVnews to fail and hence the feed cannot be retrieved.

Expect:
1. It appears credentials are passed along only when the feed url contains https. This should not be the case.
2. User should be prompted when a cert doesn't pass the standard IE 3 point check or all certs should be blanket accepted.

I would love to use intraVnews to subscribe to an internal feed of mine, but I cannot until credentials are properly attached to the request.

Any chance this will be addressed in 1.12? :D

This is still an active issue in v1.2.

I would be more than happy to help solve this problem. This is a fairly big blocking issue.
