RSS feed from Basecamp
 
For some reason if I paste the rss feed from http://www.Basecamphq.com into the newsreader it does not accept it as a valid address.
Anybody tried this?

Update: I till can't connect to their Rss feed.
Has anybody has issues with connecting to any rss feeds?

I didn't find any rss feed from that basecamp.com site. I tried rss feeds from rockclimbing site and those seemed to work fine.

I think the best way to subscribe rss feed is to hold pen few seconds over the link and select "Copy link location" and then paste the link rss application. I have noticed that some rss feeds didn't work if its link is not written excatly same way with upper cases & lower cases.

Oeps ! The url of Basecamp was wrong - I corrected it.
To have access to the RSS proj. Mngmt program you need an account.
But I did already earlier what you suggested. Without succes.
Does anybody know somekind of tech reason for this, so I can inform the people from BasecampHQ.

I would try posting this issue to the maemo-users mailing list. If it truly is a 770 issue, the right people may see it and fix it.

My guess is that news reader does not support RSS authentication, yet ;)

A newsfeed from slashdot works.
But Basecamphq needs first a login and password.
I can't find a option window for that in the newsreader.
A friend told me that in url string you need to put a code for login and password and then next the url of the feed. But he doesn't know anymore the exact way to do this.

Can anybody help?

Haven't tried this myself, but authentication in the URL is of the form:

http://username<colon>password@www.Basecamphq.com/

Obviously replacing the username and password with your login credentials and a colon character for <colon>

Be aware that it is relatively unsecure to use this authentication method, but if you aren't too worried about it, go ahead and try it.

Cheers,

Michiel

ok, try this way:

http://username:password@your_rss_link.com/rss_feed

Edit:
oh, Michiel was faster than me :)
I tried this and it worked for me!
