Basketball Headlines and Web Pages

This application indexes RSS headlines from the USA basketball. It also shows embedded web pages for basketball news in the default dashboard. The user can click on a title and get to the event. From the event, the user can use the field picker to show the link field and from the pulldown workflow action of the link field, click on Read Article or (Read Article from Proxy as an alternative due to a 6.x bug) to read the article. This uses the open source feedparser from https://pypi.org/project/feedparser for its RSS parser. This has been tested on Unix. To run this on Windows, make sure you have Python in your path, the RSS feed parser in the bin directory can run on Windows, and you can execute the rss_nba.bat and rss_espn_basket.bat scripts from the command line. The bat scripts assume that %SPLUNK_HOME% is set. Either set it in the scripts themselves or in your environment variables (e.g., set SPLUNK_HOME=C:\Program Files\Splunk).
