#18 add support for digest authentication
Since the latest version of magpierss reportedly
supports Digest Authentication, it should be possible
for fofredux to store login information for the user
and use it to authenticate that user at remote sites,
like so:
http://username:password@www.livejournal.com/path/to/data/rss?auth=digest
It could get tedious for a user who has subscribed to
lots of feeds for a particular authentication-capable
site to enter login information for each feed. It
might be easier to have a page for authentication
settings that apply to popular sites like LiveJournal.
fofredux could then take notice of which feeds are LJ
feeds and include LJ authentication information in
those requests. (Same would apply to other popular
sites that support digest authentication.)
Logged In: YES
user_id=891937
The authentication settings should probably appear on a page
as is described in Feature Request 1375553.
Logged In: YES
user_id=1170076
This makes a lot of sense, and also prevents the password
from being in plaintext on the user's browser (if you look
at the (f) link for each feed, its right there). However, it
would prevent people from adding multiple feeds with
different authentications for the same site.
