SID-00636: Headlines Plugin - Proxy Authentication

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.2.3	Perl version:	5.8.5
Category:	HeadlinesPlugin	Server OS:	RedHat Linux 4.5	Last update:	16 years ago

I have installed Headlines Plugin, configured the Proxy HOST and PORT parameter as well in Twiki configuration.

To test this plugin, I have created a new topic with the following lines: %HEADLINES{"http://www.business-opportunities.biz/feed" limit="3"}%

I get the following error when i try to access a feed. HeadlinesPlugin ERROR: 407 Proxy Authentication Required

My Proxy does require authentication but where do i specify the username and password? Is there a way to get this prompted from user so that he can provide the username and password details?

If not, how do i specify this (through script or configuration parameter etc).

Discussion and Answer

The plugin does not support username and password for proxy at this time. We can help you enhance the plugin to do that. I'll contact you.
