Thanks, Jeff. I actually tracked it down (finally), but didn't post the solution since it was so off topic.

I used Feed Demon a while back and never had this problem. Then again maybe this online sychronization feature is new. I still can't imagine that Feed Demon would not support subscribing to an intranet feed. It seemed like high quality software to me and that would be a glaring oversight. Could there be an option to bypass the synchronization for this feed? In any case, this Feed Demon stuff is off topic so I'm going to give it a rest. My suggestion would be to check out the Feed Demon forum or contact the developer. Back when I was using it I noticed that he was usually very active in the forums. ----- Original Message ---- From: Rob Wilkerson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 12:46:19 PM Subject: Re: [Trac] Trac RSS Support Looks like the problem is IE (who'd have thunk?). I implemented an Apache hack using the BrowserMatch directive and that problem is solved. But there's still FeedDemon itself. Is anyone using FeedDemon as their feed aggregator? I know this isn't a FeedDemon support forum, but this community is more active so I thought I'd ask (I've asked over there, too). The problem seems to be that my Trac project is on my intranet and FeedDemon is so tied into it's online synchronization service that it can't subscribe to the feed because it's online service can't access the internal URI. Ugh. If anyone has gotten this working successfully, please let me know. And, just for the sake of sharing, here's the Location block from my Apache conf file: <Location "/projects/myproject/timeline"> AuthType Digest AuthName "MyProject" AuthDigestDomain /projects/myproject/ AuthDigestProvider file AuthUserFile /opt/projects/users.htdigest BrowserMatch "(MSIE|^FeedDemon)" AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack=On Require valid-user </Location> Thanks.
