GeoRSS is a standard way of tagging an RSS feed so that applications can use embedded location information in each post. Using the GeoEvent Extension for ArcGIS Server, you can monitor a GeoRSS feed in real time and use it to update the applications and common operational pictures used by your colleagues. Should you encounter a secured GeoRSS feed that you would like to use, there is no standard connector that allows you to pass credentials. However, it is possible to configure a connector (without programming) that will allow you to access a GeoRSS service secured with basic HTTP authentication. |
You can use the GeoEvent Manager to combine out-of-the-box transports and adapters to configure a custom connector without resorting to the GeoEvent SDK or developing any custom code.
An excellent example is available on the Support Services Blog:
