Problem passing uid and password in feed

[vcbock]

Hello helpful people!

I'm trying to set up a feed to a password protected site, but am
getting parsing errors.

Feed Validator results are here:

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.q2learning.com%2Frss%2Ftestrss.xml

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Valerie

You need to escape the ampersands in your urls. The link should look
something like this:

<link>http://q241.collabhost.com/JeCampus/go/Testbed/?userid=guest1&amp;pwd=guest1</link>

The ampersand (&) is not correctly escaped as &amp;

You get a similar error message if you try the feed document in your
browser:
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://www.q2learning.com/rss/testrss.xml
Line Number 5, Column 76:
<link>http://q241.collabhost.com/JeCampus/go/Testbed/?userid=guest1&pwd=guest1</link>

PS. The site is not password protected.

Thank you so much Klaus, the ampersands were indeed the problem!
