Actually a quite common problem, and has to do with how Trac is usually set up - and how most of the docs recommend setting it up.
The typical web server setup will only do authentication on a request to .../login, and browser caching and cookie will handle the rest. Problem is that the various RSS feeds are on other URLs, and the feed reader will not be challenged for the username/password - and instead will receive maybe a permission error webpage or similar depending on you setup and permissions. Try pasting the URL into a browser that has no saved record of your user/login, and see the page presented. We have configured pretty much the whole site to require valid user on our Apache setup in order to get all feeds working OK from any feed reader supporting authentication - timeline, browser, log, reports and so on. :::simon [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [email protected] wrote: >That doesn't appear to be it.
