Configure RSS to read from cache

[Todd Gasall <To...@wausaubenefits.com>]

Hi,
I am having difficulty getting the RSS portlet to read a RSS feed from the
cache.  We are running a SSL site and need to receive non SSL RSS feeds.
We would like Jetspeed to read the RSS files into it's cache, and then have
the portlet render the RSS file from the cache, so the user isn't prompted
by Internet Explorer to display non-secure information in a secure site.
Could somebody please walk me through the steps to configure this?  What
settings will I need to put in Jetspeed-Resources.properties?  Will I need
to do anything different in the portlets.xreg file?  The RSS file I'm
trying to read is: http://www.medicinenet.com/rss/dailyhealth.xml

Thanks!

Jetspeed is probably serving correctly the RSS from local cache but it 
will only
cache the RSS file and not the linked items.

I can see in the RSS provided that there's a link to an external image 
that is going
to be rendered by Jetspeed. I would venture that this is this image 
that triggers the
IE pop-up.

Unfortunately, there's not a lot you can do about it with the 
out-of-the-box jetspeed.
You can try never rendering the image attached to the RSS by modifying 
the associated
XSL templates (/wEB-INF/xsl/rss.xsl).

If you're willing to code  little, you can either write (or find) a 
proxy/cache servlet and update
the XSL stylesheet to use the this servlet to link to the external 
image.

If you're really determined, you can hack at the FeedDaemon code and 
have it cache locally
any external referenced in the RSS file so that you can serve 
everything locally.
