Disable Authentication for XML Feeds has no effect


Toby Rahilly (2621) | asked Jul 05 '11, 7:46 a.m.
After setting "Disable Authentication for XML Feeds" to "Yes" accessing a url like:

http://<host>/fullcontrol/?mod=jobs&action=jobs.view.all&type=xml

returns a response with the error LOGGEDOUT

I am using Build Forge 7.1.2.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

The "Disable Authentication for XML Feeds" system configuration takes effect when the 'type=rss2' instead of 'type=xml'.

Thanks for your reply,

type=rss2 does not return an error, however it always returns an empty stream.

Do you have a sample working rss url? Or is there some trick to setting the permissions?

I tried with your url (type=rss2) and it works with the sys config set to 'No', but that requires authentication. When I set the disable sys config to 'Yes', I don't get any results. I opened this item for support to take a look.

The defect mentioned in this post is likely going to be closed by removing this feature entirely.

To gauge how invasive this change would be for you how are you using RSS feeds now? How are you trying to use them without authentication? What are you trying to accomplish?
