> users@ > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users Hi Sergiu, For about a month, I have been happily getting watchlist updates from a private RSS feed by appending &basicauth=1. My feed URL is in the following format: http://subdomain.domain.com:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/WatchListRss?xpage=plain&outputSyntax=plain&basicauth=1 Sometime this week, it suddenly stopped working. I deleted the feed and tried to re-create it, but each time, I get the error "Outlook cannot process the RSS content from [feed URL]. The link may not point to a valid RSS source." I am using Outlook 2010 for RSS feeds and Internet Explorer 9 for browsing. (I cannot change these tools; they are our corporate standards.) We are currently running XWIKI 4.2 milestone 1. Do you have any ideas about why basic authentication might *suddenly* stop working -- or only work intermittently? Thanks!
