RSS feeds aren't working without a logged-in feed token

Hello!

I’ve already tried looking this problem up on the forum and didn’t find anything. But it appears that the Changelog feeds only work when logged in (when a feed_token is present).

Here is the Atom feed for the Commits HEAD of a repository that works (feed_token redacted for protection):

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/commits/HEAD?feed_token=<REDACTED>&format=atom

But this same feed URL without the feed_token doesn’t work and gives a 404 page.

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/commits/HEAD?format=atom

It appears that the only way the feed_token is populated is when logged in. But RSS feeds are meant to be public so that they can be read by an RSS reader, which wouldn’t have the feed_token.

Can this be fixed?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

I was having issues with RSS Feeds, see this post gitlab.gnome.org RSS Feeds not working..

All of my issues are gone now. I just tried your link https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/commits/HEAD?format=atom and it is working for me. The RSS feed I work use would be https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/commits/master?format=atom
