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?
Try a smarter RSS reader? I remember having Opera read a few protected
feeds...
It's not that simple. Most RSS readers will authenticate via Basic
Authentication, which most feeds are setup as. Fossil, on the other hand,
does not directly support Basic Authentication. In order for you to read a
protected Fossil RSS feed you have to login via the Fossil login screen. No
RSS reader (that I know of) will do this. It would have to be told where the
login screen is, what the input names are for the username and password
fields, then how to interpret the results.
