Worksite Web news connector

System

Hi all,

Is there a way to tell worksite web's news connector to connect via proxy server?

Currently, even with IE setup to access internet through a proxy server, worksite web's news connector complains about not being able to conect to the 'remote site'. Using a standalone rss reader configured to access internet through proxy server works fine.

Is there a file that I can edit to configure worksite web's news connector's behavior?

Any helps will be greatly appreciated!
TIA.

The out-of-the-box code does not support proxy configuration. However, the good news is that you can modify the connector code to add in the support. (You would have to research how to code proxy configuration, as that is beyond the scope of support here.)

The connector source code is in <wsw_install>/connectors/Interwoven.Enterprise/source/FeedReader.cs. Review the guide entitled "WorkSite Connectors Developer's Guide" for details on modifying the code and recompiling the assembly. You should be able to find this document through the Devnet search or by searching through WorkSite Support at http://worksitesupport.interwoven.com.
