I might be wrong - I have not read #540 in details, but Safari and
Opera are web browsers: if the browser has been used to browse Trac
(web pages, no RSS) you have been through the authentication process,
/login URL: in other word, once you've 'logged in' on Trac the
credentials are sent by the browser to Trac on each request: whether
the requested page is a web page or a RSS feed does not matter.

OTOH, a pure RSS client attempts to access the defined URL
(/timeline...), it does not know about the /login stuff.

The problem may be a little more complex, but you got the idea.

To sum up: if you use the same web browser to read the feed and browse
Trac, RSS w/ authentication may work; if you use a dedicate RSS client
it may not - for now.

I have not checked it up, but I guess that if you use Apache and force
the authentication for the whole project (no anonymous access at all),
RSS w/ authentication may work w/ any RSS client.
The trouble is that this mode is not supported by tracd, AFAIK.

Cheers,
Manu
