There is a new RESTful feature in sipXconfig: your voicemail folders are
available as RSS feeds now.

Check out some snapshots attached to:
http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XX-5529

Browsers should detect RSS feed automatically and display an orange RSS
icon in the usual place (for example: address bar in FF).

If that does not work the feed URL can be entered manually:

https://{host}:8443/sipxconfig/rest/feed/voicemail/inbox

If you are a using a feed reader please check if you can subscribe. The
feed URL is protected: you need username and voicemail PIN to subscribe. It
seems to work correctly in a few readers I tried (FF, Opera, Liferea). I'll
try on-line readers (bloglines, google reader, netvives, yahoo) as soon as
I install latests sipx somewhere where google can find it.

Your reader should ask you for username and PIN during subscribing. If that
does not happen try entering the credentials in the URL:

https://{username}:{voicemailp...@{host}:8443/sipxconfig/rest/feed/voicemail/inbox

Using secured feeds has some drawbacks: in theory our feed is a 'podcast'.
In other words you should be able to add it to ITunes or Rhythmbox and
access your voicemail from there. But from what I am seeing even if podcast
client can authenticate the feed, most do not attempt to use the same
credentials to authenticate the enclosed media.

I mentioned here before that I was thinking about implementing insecure,
hard to guess URLs to access user based APIs without authentication. That
should solve 'podcast' problems.

At the moment we generate RSS 2.0 feeds, but adding ATOM would be trivial.
Feeds are not localized (English only) for now.

I think it's not that complicated to add other RSS feeds - alarms, jobs -
other ideas?
