Paul, Hmm, yeah we do require proper authentication for all private docs. You can have a server-side proxy that can do this for you using AuthSub authentication. That way you would only need to authenticate once and store the session token forever.
I guess the best solution would be to write a feed reader that can handle sending authentication tokens in the header. May not be all that difficult. For more information about AuthSub, check out our documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/AuthSub.html Cheers, - Jochen On Sep 25, 8:09 am, PaulFusion <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've been trying both public and private, and neither seem to work.
