Would it be possible to include pre-authenticed urls for the RSS feed. IE7's RSS reader won't update the feed without this.

Hi Anthony,

This should be possibly by adding os_username=<user>&os_password=<password> to the end of the URL. E.g.

http://localhost:8085/rss/createAllBuildsRssFeed.action?feedType=rssAll&os_authType=basic&os_username=admin&os_password=admin

Regards,
Ajay.

That is cool and it would work, however one problem is that we don't want our passwords going over the wire unencrypted. Our Bamboo is not public and only authorized users can sign up for the feeds. One thing that Atlassian Fisheye does with it's RSS feed is it appends the username and generates a hash for the password. This is not a high priority issue, but it seems easy enough to do. The framework definitely supports it. Thank you for the rapid response.

I hope implementation is the first step towards using the Trusted Applications system that was recently introduced to other Atlassian products such as Fisheye, JIRA and Confluence. The advantage of this is that you do not need to pass the os_username and os_password in the URL.
