Attached is a patch against Mahara 1.3.6 that adds two new optional configuration fields, Authenticated RSS Username and Authenticated RSS Password. It also modifies lib/web.php to supply the CURLOPT_USERPWD when a username and password are set (This modification can also be used by other blocks that require access to web-based resources behind HTTPAuth).
This patch affects the following files: htdocs/lib/web.php htdocs/blocktype/externalfeed/lib.php htdocs/blocktype/externalfeed/lang/en.utf8/blocktype.externalfeed.php This patch has been tested against Mahara 1.3.6, but will likely need to be tweaked to match Mahara's coding guidelines and styles. ** Attachment added: "See comment." https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/740326/+attachment/2399096/+files/diff.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Core, which is subscribed to Mahara. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/740326 Title: Allow use of authenticated RSS in External Feed block Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Triaged Bug description: It would be extremely useful for users to be able to access authenticated RSS feeds from within Mahara. This would allow users to include content that is otherwise inaccessible without having to change their privacy settings on the site of origin. This is different from letting other sites embed private Mahara feeds through secret URLs, as described in bug #796384.
