Hi,
I'm using Atlassian's JIRA bug tracking system for a project I'm working on, and I want to create posts in Wordpress from the RSS feed of bug reports from their website.
I installed the Autoblog plugin, and configured it to pull from the RSS url. I can't share a working URL cause it has my username/password, but here is the URL without the password.
When I perform the Autoblog test I get a SSL error as follows.
Error: WP HTTP Error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
I've checked the cert from that URL and it's fine.

Yeah - that's WP http that is generating that error (the clue is at the beginning :) ) - you may not have the full certificate chain on your server so it can't verify.
If you trust the site you are getting the feed from, then you can force wp http to ignore any ssl certificate errors - let me know and I'll track down the line and the change you need to make.
But, JIRA has parameter options that allow me to bypass HTTP authentication and pass the username/password as GET parameters.
I have verified that this works.
Anyway, if there is a way to bypass this error. Please provide it, as this is a special case. It would be great to publish bug reports from JIRA in Wordpress.
I'm trying to find the line to change, but as autoblog uses the fetch_feed function to pull the feed in, the actual line to change probably isn't in the plugin itself :(

You could try it, as long as you get the requirement for ssl removed. Still going to see if I can find a setting we can use, so I can put a config item in the next version of the plugin.
That did the trick! Thank you. It's working now, and Pipes is even a better approach cause now I can pre-process the list to remove some unwanted URLs.

I've just added an option, in the just released version, to the feed edit forms to switch off ssl verification if you want to have a go and see if that helps any.

Hello Mathew
As far as I know Autoblog is not able to access RSS feeds that are password-protected. This is probably what's causing your issue.
I don't believe there is any way around this, but I will see if I can get the developer to confirm here :-)
Best and very sorry

I'm working based on this - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-stout-google-calendar-ssl-certificate-problem

As soon as I find it, I'll pop up the code here.

What if I push the RSS feed through another feed reader? Like Google Feedburner and then pull the new RSS URL from that burner?

Google Feedburner refuses to read the feed. Don't know why.

Give Yahoo Pipes a go - it may work with that

Oh I forgot about Pipes!
Yes, I think that will work. I was able to pull the feed and see it in the pipe editor.
Thanks! :)

thank you very much. I installed the update already. Will give it a try tomorrow.
If I pull the feed, and then delete the posts. The plugin won't create them again. Is there a way to reset this?
Also, can it update posts if that item has been changed in the feed?
