Is there a way to limit this to headlines and not the full description?

I'd like to limit the size of the RSS feed. I'd just like to show the latest entry from a blog and just show the first few lines...
Could something like Could not retrieve http://host.com/rss.xml - Page Not Found work? Is there a "lines or maxlines" parameter that could be used? I think this function would be useful because I don't want to repeat an entire blog entry on my wiki site.

I was trying to add the following to a page in Confluence but an error occurred.
Error message:
Error rendering macro: Could not download:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/newsfeed.xml
The above rss feed works well in RSS Feed Reader. Did I do anything wrong? And what rss version does Confluence support?

I have a news feed: http://new.knovel.com/CAM/RSS/notes.jsp which does not work in confulence, it keeps saying that I have non utf-8 chars. I tried putting everything in CDATA and tried to re-encode the strings in Java, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

I'm also getting an error when trying to incorporate RSS into a page:
rss: Unable to retrieve http:Could not download: http:UnknownHostException: feeds.feedburner.com
And I used a link from the Confluence documentation to be sure it would work.
This is a great feature if I can get it to work. How can I fix the error?

The wiki code you are using is correct, and the error you are getting (UnknownHostException) suggests a server misconfiguration cause. Java doesn't appear able to resolve the host "feeds.feedburner.com" in order to connect.
If you are the server administrator you can start by checking there arent any java security restrictions (these should show up in the application server's logs), also check any firewalling / chrooting / jailing / other restrictions which might be imposed.
If you are not the server administration I suggest you talk to the person responsible - they should be able to help resolve the access problem.

seeing the follwoing error trying to use the rss feed
rss: Unable to retrieve http://feeds.feedburner.com/AtlassianDeveloperBlog: Could not download: http://feeds.feedburner.com/AtlassianDeveloperBlog - java.net.UnknownHostException: feeds.feedburner.com
> "If you are the server administrator you can start by checking there arent any java security restrictions (these should show up in the application server's logs), "
and from the server logs i can see :
2006-08-24 07:37:01,112 WARN [util.http.httpclient.HttpClientHttpRetrievalService] get Failed to download http://feeds.feedburner.com/AtlassianDeveloperBlog java.net.UnknownHostException: feeds.feedburner.com
> "getting (UnknownHostException) suggests a server misconfiguration cause. Java doesn't appear able to resolve the host "feeds.feedburner.com" in order to connect."
How do i confugure this corectly ? Iam behind a gateway so is there a config change i can make to resolve this ?

Is there a way to specify a username and password parameter so you could bring up a secured rss feed?

Be warned that the wiki markup for pages can be viewed by anyone who can view the rendered page. This could pose a security risk if usernames and passwords are placed on the page.

Well, Dan, that'd be a very good point you have there.
Though I think that the security risk is mitigated a bit because only folks with edit permissions should be able to see the wiki markup. Right? Or am I missing something?

To be clear, anyone with view privs can see the wiki markup. Go to Info tab at the top of this page and click the View Source button.
If they can see the rendered content, they can see with wiki markup that rendered it.

There is s feature request 1 open for this problem which will partly solve the security risk of everyone being able to see the source code.
Cheers,
Jens

Trawling through the docs then I note that os_username and os_password can be passed as augments to the URL.
http://localhost:8080/confluence/login.action?os_username=un1&os_password=pw1
But how can I achieve the same results using the RSS macro, to a feed like the following;
{rss:url=http://rss.abc.com/MyBlog/rss.xml}
Note the following variation does not work either.
{rss:url=http://os_username=un1:os_password=pw1@rss.abc.com/MyBlog/rss.xml}
NB. I am not concerned that the username and password are viewable in the markup.
Thanks

Since os_username and os_password are Atlassian-specific parameters, you might do better with something like this:
{rss:url=http://un1:pw1@rss.abc.com/MyBlog/rss.xml}
However, I'm not certain that will work anyway...
