A little additional information: this only appears to be a problem in IE (which is what FeedDemon uses as its browsing engine). I can't open the feed via URL in IE because of the Bad Request error, but it opens happily in Firefox.

First of all, it would have taken the better part of forever for me to try that. It makes perfect sense, but I just don't think I would've thought of it any time soon. Unfortunately, it didn't get me all the way there. I'm now prompted to login, which is progress, but after logging in, I get an error that FeedDemon was unable to download http://myprojects.com/projects/project1/timeline?changeset=on&max=50&daysback=90&format=rss. If try I access the feed in an untainted browser session, I'm prompted to login and then shown a bad request error: Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. My Environment: Fedora Core 5 Apache 2.2.2 mod_python 3.2.8 Subversion 1.3.2 I don't know exactly what that means, but I'll keep digging. In the meantime, if you have any other helpful suggestions, please let me know. You'll be hard-pressed to top your last one, but I'd appreciate any effort you can spare. Thanks again.
