@Frustrated Developer - I feel your pain too. None of the Web Slices I created for my application work either.

I have no intention of exposing a GET request URL to the slice that contains the username/password just to get around this bug so it looks like I'll have to drop Web Slices until this is fixed. Too bad though, because conceptually I really liked the idea.

Thanks Robear for bringing that to our attention.

Finally figured out why Web Slices DO NOT WORK.

Since IE sends the GET requests to attempt to update via its RSS user-agent (which has no session matching the one I'm browsing with)

Therefore I get ZERO UPDATES because the RSS user-agent gets a redirect due to not being authenticated.

So I looked in the properties dialog for some sort of auth. options... tada! there is a username/password option... bingo!

So I type my details in, and... Nada!

still gets redirected to the login page, and doesn't login.

So now I've got 2 questions:

1.) How is this username/password supposed to work?... cause I don't think it works.

2.) As a developer, do I have to do something special to make my login pages more accessible to web slices?

Currently I see Web Slices as a big flop if they can't handle logging into a site, or at least sharing any open sessions from the browser.

e.g. I'm on my companies "project/sales management" web application, which of course requires a login (every site I care about requires a login) but as I move about the site, I don't see updates on the specific project I'm tracking with my web slice.

Is there documentation that goes beyond the limited MSDN docs on this?

If you're running IE8 on XP SP3 or Vista SP1, it's easier to just update to IE8 RC1. For Win7 users running that older build of IE8(pre Pre-RC1?), the patch is below.

Win7 x86

There's updates for Win Server 2003/2008 and Win 7 server/2008 R2, but I'm not gonna link those, you can still find them on MS Download Center if you want.

~robear dyer

The links are in-fact missing. We will work to get that problem resolved.
