Capturing Share RSS Feed Links

[cszamudio]

Hi,

I'm attempting to capture the Share RSS feed links from the dashboard to be able to subscribe to the feed from an external tool.  I've run into the issue that the feed URL requires user authentication to access. When I try to access the link directory I get the HTTP response code of 401, which indicates that authentication is required. 

Could anyone suggest how I might be able to encode the Alfresco username/password into the URL?  Or perhaps a TICKET?

Below is an example of of my Share Site RSS feed link:

Thanks,
Carlos S. Zamudio

Config: Alfresco 3.2.r2, Tomcat 6.0, MySQL

Sorry for the post.    There's no need to encode the authorization in the URL, but rather specify this in the RSS feed reader.

It occurred to me that subscribing to the feed as requiring Authorization from my RSS feed reader code was the way to go about this.  In  my case I'm using ROME, which allows for specifying an HttpURLConnection that has the proper Authorization encoding parameter.
