fetching RSS / ATOM autimatically

[Max Ferstl-2]

Dear mailinglist users,

I want to fetch rss data of scarab automatically by a script, but I'm
not really sure, how my script should log in. I could use the cookie
based login, but I think it's a bit overhead. A http basic auth would do
the job concerning security, and is implemented in nearly every http
lib.

Perhaps you could give me a hint, how I can do that in a basic way (or
where I missed a pargraph in the docs)...

Regards,
Max Ferstl

Max, you may find the section in the manual called 'Integrating Scarab in
TWiki' [1] somewhat useful. The example URL is anonymous; you could
alternatively include credentials like this:-

Good luck,
Steve.
