Re-2: [dev] Nagios-filter / Nagios integration
Hello Bodo,
by doing some research on my own in the last days I've stumbled over another problem.
All the RSS-readers I have tested are caching the news topics.
When a ticket is closed, and the ticket is no longer listed in the rss-feed, the entry
in the RSS-reader persists and is not deleted.
I experienced this problem with IE7-RSS-Reader, Thunderbird RSS-Reader, Klipfolio.
I have been accessing the OTRS-database via a PERL-SOAP-Access-Script and created
the feed with XML::RSS.
Authentication was no issue with our installation as it is installed on an internal
server with 3 agents who do have access to all queues.
Für Rückfragen stehe ich Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hi,
in a brief internal chat about the idea of RSS feeds for OTRS one interesting issue came up: What about authentication?. Googling the issue I got the impression that the only way to restrit access to RSS feeds is using HTTP Basic Auth. Which in itself is not the problem. I think we cover that in OTRS by setting/checking the referring headers.
The question is if all RSS clients can deal with this? Has anybody here experience with restricted RSS feeds?

That's no good in deed. What about changed entries? Are they refreshed, or are the changes ignored as well? This way it may be possible to list closed tickets as closed for some time and the remove them. At least the RSS reader would have them as closed in it's cache and not show open tickets...

Yeah, but in the general case you may also have agents or customer connecting over untrusted routes... BB
