One click subscription for Miro but inside a firewall
I'm a big fan of Miro and I'd like to replace iTunes with Miro inside a company firewall. I have a site inside our company that serves podcasts, and right now we have one click subscriptions using iTunes. the format of the one click subscription uses the itpc:// resource.
Is there a way to use the Miro client inside our firewall and do a one click subscription model that does not route people to getmiro.com? I need it to route them to our internal site.
I looked for a resource like itpc but for Miro but I wasn't successful. Maybe I'm even asking the wrong question? Bottom line is I need one click subscription without going outside our firewall and I'd LOVE to use Miro for this.
Any help would be appreciated,

Inappropriate?I'm pretty sure the one-click links work by sending the browser to the subscribe.getmiro.com server which returns an XML file based on the request with the data Miro needs to subscribe to the feed.
So all you have to do is build a server that returns an XML file with the data Miro needs to subscribe to the feed.
You could easily figure this all out using Ethereal/Wireshark when clicking on one of the one-click links and then mimicking it locally. If that's confusing or doesn't work for you, I can look into it, but I've got a lot on my plate and it'll take me a while to get to. -
Inappropriate?In some cases we can add a feed directly to miro from a miro site.
Here are the rules of what's implemented so far in bug #9824:
Added a rough pass at detecting RSS in r8990. It uses the following thinking:
1. the url must begin with http or https, AND
2. the url must start with http://feeds.feedburner.com, OR
the url must have "rss" in it somewhere
If you add your site to miro, you should then be able to click on a feed (that follows the rules above) and have it added directly to miro.
An example of how this works, it when you browse the Legal Torrents site in Miro, you can add any of their feeds directly.
You could get a custom miro player that could include your site as the default guide, and have some of the podcasts pre-loaded. If you want to pursue that, I can give you the contact info of the person who does that stuff. -
Inappropriate?But the whole issue is the site is inside our firewall so I can't add it to the Miro site. I need the entire process to occur inside our firewall. -
Inappropriate?Janet: I'm pretty sure nosillacast needs a one-click subscribe that works outside of Miro. i.e. through a web browser.
Nosillacast: If that's not the case, then what Janet is saying works fine and doesn't have anything to do with getmiro.com or the Miro Guide websites. You would have a link to your feed on your internal web-site. The link must meet the conditions Janet posted above. The internal web-site would need to be a Site inside the Miro application. When the user browsed the web-site in Miro's browser and clicked on the feed link, then Miro would subscribe to the feed. -
Inappropriate?oh - I didn't realize sites can live inside Miro itself. That might work too. Let me run this past my programmer and see what he thinks.
thanks!
