If you are not logged in, it will return status code 401 for user-specific requests. You can catch these and request the same resource again, with user credentials included. See [1] about the correct syntax. On [2] you will find an extension of the current authentication. It is still listed as a draft, but should already work on the webservice. -- Stefan [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication [2] http://wiki.gpodder.org/wiki/Web_Wervices/API/Drafts _______________________________________________ gpodder-devel mailing list gpodder-devel at lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/gpodder-devel
