[Magpierss-general] Reading RSS from local link/command

[Thomas R. <t.r...@ne...>]

Hi,
I need a solution for the following problem. I want to embed an rss
output into a html/php page.

I have an RSS feed which is available as a URL-command like
"[....]index.php?title=Spezial:Recentchanges&feed=rss". The index.php
file is local and I don't want to access it through http (Also, because
its only available through https:// and only with proper authentication).

Moreover, I don't want to create a temporary file for it. Instead, I
want to read the output from the command directly. So, the standard
"fetching options" for magpierss (which are for URLs and files only) are
not enough.

Maybe I missed something here: Shouldn't it be possible to execute the
command first and then read the output directly into a variable, which
then can be parsed by magpierrs? If so, can someone please provide some
code fragments for this?

Thanks a lot,
Thommie
