Daniel Beck commented on Improvement JENKINS-6610

And if the RSS client doesn't support this method? It's obvious people won't use curl to get their RSS. ... My guess is to make it compatible or add a &netrc=<value> for the API token.

To clarify, this is basic HTTP auth under the hood. --netrc just reads the username and password from a file rather than expecting username and password as parameters on the command line. I tested this just to be absolutely sure,

curl -u danielbeck:my_API_token http://jenkins/rssAll
works like a charm as well on an instance (Jenkins 1.565.2) without anon read access.


Hence my assertion that, if your RSS (HTTP) client cannot do basic HTTP authentication, that's not a problem of Jenkins.
