Basic HTTP Authentication should be added to allow
authentication in RSS clients, so that private data can
be displayed. The same will apply for the iCalendar
data when in subscribe mode (webcal://)

    the more secure digest authentication is not supported in
    PHP < 5.1 as per
    http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php .

    The authentication code is available in
    includes/authentication.php, but is not really exposed via
    the UI yet. This can be tested via the link
    rss.php?auth=basic . Support has also been added to the
    uncompleted ical.php.

    One issue with conditionally supporting digest mode, is the
    lack of widespread client support for this.

    Added auth link to the block and the rss feed itself (if the
    user is not logged in).
