Well, I've mentioned one already: Opera. I've never seen a http basic auth protected feed. The ones I've mentioned were forums where you had to login using customizable by templates login pages. I had to log in at that page and set feed syncing to an interval smaller than session expire time.

I'm pretty sure that should not be a problem. This procedure can be replicated in something like 5 lines of Python. Compared to what I believe is the codebase of a typical rss reader, this does not look too bad...
