  • feedreader minor update

    the download of feedreader has been updated to be section 508 compliant with regard to images (thanks to EdwardB for noting that), so this should aide in using in government environments requiring that compliance.

    additionally, since the technet bulletin feedreader has been downloaded quite a bit.  the proxy server issue is still paining us.  we've made some minor updates to some passing of authentication credentials and encourage those to uninstall/download/reinstall and see if that helps.  anyone with ideas of making proxy server (especially user-authenticating ones) better, please feel free to send us suggestions.  from a technical standpoint, the server is actually making the rss feed request, so our challenge is passing credentials from the client to the server, then from the server, passing those same credentials to the proxy.  this is a challenge because of double-hop situations with credentials.

    also, the readme has been updated for the feedreader recommended installation which can also be found http://timheuer.com/blog/articles/389.aspx.

    thanks to technet for recommending it!  feedreader recently won accolades as first prize taken in the FTPOnline web part contest: http://www.ftponline.com/portals/microsoft/webpart/

    This should allow you to pass the necessary proxy credentials.
    The WebProxy Object also has other overloaded constructors which allow the user to pass a string array of addresses to bypass. This requires an addtional property to be set, BypassProxyOnLocal.



    string username = "proxyusername";
    string password = "proxypassword";
    string proxyserver = "proxyservername";
    int proxyserverport = 80;

    NetworkCredential user = new NetworkCredential(username, password);

    WebProxy proxyObject = new WebProxy(proxyserver, proxyserverport);

    proxyObject.Credentials = user;
    GlobalProxySelection.Select = proxyObject;


    WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(url);
    WebResponse result = req.GetResponse();
    Stream ReceiveStream = result.GetResponseStream();

    What about setting it up to use the Default credentials?

    proxyObject.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

    I believe this would use the credentials for the user that the IIS Application Pool is using..
