So we are back to square one on accessing an RSS feed that is protected via
a normal RSS reader. There may only be two solutions to this problem:
1. Use allow authuser=johndoe&authpass=secret as a URL parameter
2. Forget accessing secured RSS feeds
Any other ideas?

It works because it's not sent as HTTP Basic when cloning.
Fossil sends it in it's own 'Card' format. The password is sent
hashed and nonced (though I forget the exact details of the exchange.)
Which means it's actually a bit better than Basic authentication.

That is interesting that it works for cloning. I was under the impression
that a CGI application could not even retrieve that information. I will
look
into the clone code and see how it is retrieved. Thanks for reminding me
of
that.

http://user:pass/@... does not work. That is just another way of encoding
for HTTP Basic Authentication which fossil does not support, and cannot
support w/CGI.
Aha - i see now that it works for cloning, but apparently not the HTTP
interface. i wasn't aware of that.
