WebParser.dll HTTP Authentication Bug

Hehe, my bad, I have only been using Rainmeter for about 3 hours though so I'll call a newbie excuse.

Not a problem at all. Pay no attention to those guys rappelling down ropes onto the roof of your house..

I did my best.

Using Google Apps Accounts (in Gmail skins)

If you have a Google Apps account, instead of a regular Gmail one, and you want to use it in the Gmail skins, change the Url key of the skin's Webparser measure to this:

Code: Select all

Url=https://<GmailID>%40<Domain.com>:<GmailPassword>@mail.google.com/a/<Domain.com>/feed/atom/

Make sure that the fields <GmailID>, <Domain.com>, <GmailPassword> are replaced by your own credentials, without any "<" or ">" characters left.
e.g.

Url=https://User%40domain.com:mypass@mail.google.com/a/domain.com/feed/atom

The "%40" string is used instead of "@" to avoid a problem where the Webparser plugin couldn't resolve the Url address.

Thanks to the user "jackfrost" for the Tip

@Chonner: if they catch you, make sure to give them all the brackets they want. (we are just kidding, of course, don't worry about that).

Thanks for tidying that up! Make sure you "bold" out (I don't know if that can be used as a verb) that last ".com", as the first one.
