Brent,

Thanks for your reply. I'll see if I can find anything out from Google.

Thanks again!

It's a bug on Google's side, unfortunately. My guess is that they require cookies, which is a no-no for feeds. I recommend reporting it as a bug to Google.

Using Google Docs Change Notification RSS Feeds

dahjelle — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:11:19 GMT

Hi!

I noticed that Google docs allows one to obtain an RSS feed of change notifications for shared documents. The document does not apparently need to be publicly shared. This feed is accessed by choosing the Share->Share with others… option from within the document, then clicking the "View RSS feed of document changes" link from there.

However, opening this link in NNW doesn't seem to work. The XML source of the feed is always an HTML sign-on page.

My guess is that there is some missing authentication going on, but enter my Google account username and password in the Get Info box doesn't help.

I also tried opening the sign-on page in a new NNW tab, but that didn't change the situation.

Anyhow had any luck with these?
