| Ten things your web sites should be doing - Nick Finck wrote on Dec-15th: "Rather than posting about my web predictions for 2005 or rambling off a list of products or tools you must have, etc. I have decided that this year I will post a list of things you should have or be doing on your web site or Intranet. After all, we are living in a modern world, it's time your web sites start acting like it."
Ok, lets see how this site -- and, more generally, any YACS server -- compares to Nick's wish list. » Commented on Dec. 19 2004 In The capability |
| | Actually, YACS speaks both text/xml and application/rss+xml - Some time ago I posted an article YACS provides RSS newsfeeds as text/xml, and this is a deliberate choice.

| YACS adds security to RSS syndication - We would like to use some specific RSS feed to monitor YACS servers. But this requires at least to authenticate news readers.
No problem, HTTP Basic Authentication is supposed to be easy to implement. According to the PHP documentation, you just have to look at two variables to get user name and password.
Unfortunately, these two variables will always be empty if PHP runs on the CGI interface.
Does this mean that users cannot be authenticated at some PHP sites? No! The solution is to find another way to retrieve credentials into PHP.
Actually what is really needed is the support of the mod_rewrite Apache module, and the ability to add some directives into the .htaccess file. » Link updated on Sep. 24 2004 In The capability |

| YACS provides RSS newsfeeds as text/xml, and this is a deliberate choice - As you may know, there is no specific standard to specifically type RSS newsfeeds, but we definitely need to select a solution. I know, this topic has already been discussed many times. No brand new ideas here.
This being said, YACS is aiming to be reference code for professional software developpers. And we do have very good reasons to stick with text/xml, and to not use application/xml nor application/rss+xml for our RSS feeds. » Link updated on Sep. 3 2004 In The capability |
