Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply
ask a new question.
we just migrated 10.5 server to 10.6. Everything is fine so far. But while updates from Wikis and blogs appearing on
http://intranet.ln/updates/, no updates are appearing on feed://intranet.ln/search/index.rss?kind=wiki&kind=weblog&kind=podcast&howMany= 20&uid=recent&startIndex=0
Did you ever find any solution to this problem?
We are having very chaotic RSS behavior; sometime updates show up, sometimes not. For a single update, some users get an RSS update, some don't. There doesn't seem to be any pattern for what works and what doesn't.
We were hoping to use the Apple WIKI as a group platform, but without RSS working reliably, it doesn't work for us.
RSS feeds are working fine for me. Perhaps your perception of this is affected by what client you're receiving the feeds in. Are you sure that all users are subscribed to precisely the same URL?
Thanks for the reply. I've been able to narrow the behavior down further to the combination of RSS when using SSL access security. Apparently, few RSS reader and WIKI server combinations actually handle the case of RSS+SSL gracefully; some don't even try. Once I started searching, there's quite a bit of information about this out there, but as far as I can tell, no one has a good solution yet.
Further, I think some of the RSS update behavior that seemed "flakey" is explainable -- if I'm logged-in to my wiki server (via SLL) in Safari, then Mail is able to fetch authenticated RSS updates, but if I don't have an authenticated connection open in Safari, then it's not so successful.
I'll keep looking for a combination that works when using RSS and SSL authentication.
I've been using Firefox to connect to my wiki server's RSS feed via SSL and it works like a charm. Every couple of weeks my cookie expires and I need to reauthenticate, but otherwise it's fine. I wonder if a lot of folks are also using self-signed SSL certs and whether that's contributing to their problems.
My RSS works fine in Safari and Firefox, but I am unable to see it post via Mail. When using Mail is asks for username and password since the Wiki is set to private, but after entering the correct credentials, nothing. Not sure on this one. ANY pointers are greatly appreciated!
