Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-598:
----------------------------------------
Filtering the documents being specified in a feed based on whatever criterion
is currently not part of the RSS connector. The only means of filtering is by
including or excluding the feed itself.
So it sounds like what you need for this case is NOT to understand a proxy.pac
file, but rather to permit discovered URLs to be filtered in some way. Will
being able to filter based on regular expressions run against a document URL be
sufficient? The web connector uses this strategy, but it seems to me like it
would be problematic in an RSS situation. Presumably the mix of links will be
changing all the time, as the feeds are regenerated; you might possibly be able
to decide via a regexp whether a link was internal or not, but it will be
cumbersome to manage this I think.
The alternative is to generate the feeds without the documents that you don't
want.
Please let me know how you want to proceed.
