Hey, I was wandering if anyone here's got any experience integrating a protected (username & password) XML feed onto a website, struggling to get my head around it all and would like some advice / pay someone to do it for me :)
drop me an email if you could help (russell@meak.in)
Cheers

You could password protect the directory it's in with .htaccess and Apache: http://www.addedbytes.com/lab/pa…

ok... so there are some process ideas here....
1. password protect the feed
2. have a script on your server:
- login with the password
- read the feed
- parse the feed
- put stuff in your layoutthis can be done in PHP on your server end, and/or various other languages... one issue you run into is oddly formed or malformed XML, sometimes it's either containing bad characters, or nested unpredictably, so if you have a clean XML feed, it's much easier than if you have an unpredictable XML feed...
