RSS without password + Per category RSS

[bugmenot]

Would be nice if we could allow access to the RSS feed without the need to be logged in.

Also would be nice to have separate RSS feeds per category (and email alerts too would be nice).


I've had a quick search to try and make sure these are not possible already, forgive me if they are :p

Not quite sure what you mean,
Seperate RSS feeds per category? you can specify the category for every RSS feed.
Email alerts for what? A successful match?

What is the issue with viewing RSS feeds and needing to log in, is logging in once per session that much of a hassle? You can add the login parameters to your bookmark if it that much of a hassle. We won't remove authentication as who knows what malicious stuff someone could make you download without the need for a password.

I meant the other way around, the RSS history feed that sabnzbd supplies, same for the email.


How can someone make me download something by viewing an RSS feed? Is it not possible to allow anyone to view the RSS feed without allowing everyone to see the control panel/add nzb files etc ?

You can use the RSS feed without logging in like so:

Code: Select all

http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/rss?mode=history&ma_username=USER&ma_password=PASSWORD

Still not sure what you mean about email though.

Thanks, I did mean to ask the syntax for the URI. Would be nice to have it without to beable to give the feed to others, but this will suffice for now.

mode=history - are there others?


We can get email alerts when a file completes, not sure how useful to others to have separate email addresses for each category. I've found it useful to share out the dump\user1, download\user1 etc for multiple people to queue their own files in a few places now. But there is no kind of notification that could be used separately, which is where separate RSS per category or even email alerts.
