Hmmm, no I haven't seen this yet. Are you able to access <your whoogle url>/opensearch.xml?

I just deployed the heroku beta version without any issues, could you try that? You can use this link to deploy the beta version.

You can use [this link](https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/tree/heroku-app-beta) to deploy the beta version.

Hi Ben, thanks for the reply! I can indeed access the xml, also in Firefox. I deployed the beta you've linked, but the issue's still there.

However I guess I've found the issue: After deploying without user/pw authentication, it works. Is that a bug on my end or on application level?

Ah, yeah that's on my end. I'm requiring authentication to reach the opensearch file (maybe I had a reason for that at some point, I can't think of one now though).

I'll push a fix shortly.

Alright should be fixed now -- try redeploying the beta version and let me know if you encounter any issues (I validated the fix on my end, but just want to double check).
