IE will do the same thing but it simply relies on the cookie already being
present. So, unless I login and stay active and read my RSS feeds in IE,
that doesn't work. I guess I am just use to a more conventional RSS reader
application :-/

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.
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. Worked
flawlessly.
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.
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...
Kind regards,
