Authenticated RSS Feed

[sgaw]

I’d like to add a feed from Lighthouse (lighthouseapp.com/) to one of my databases but it’s not working, possibly due to a couple of things:

1. The feed needs authentication and, as far as I can tell, DEVONthink doesn’t allow you to supply authentication credentials. I’ve tried embedding them in the URL with no success.

2. It is an atom feed rather than a standard RSS feed. Are atom feeds supported?

Many thanks,

Simon

DEVONthink supports only HTTP authentication by adding the credentials to the URL. But in this case the authentication seems to be form/cookie based.

2. It is an atom feed rather than a standard RSS feed. Are atom feeds supported?

DEVONthink supports also Atom.

Thanks for the reply. On the bright-side, I believe that Lighthouse are planning on allowing unauthenticated RSS feeds so hopefully that will solve my problems.
