#400 RSS - http Authentication

[patrick232]

id like to add a password-protected feed to the rss-accnounce-plugin

rss add http://user:password@my.feed.com/rss.xml

currently supybot tells me that this is not a valid URL

I just ran headlong into this, trying to hook supybot up to an authenticated trac rss feed. Sure would be nice to see this fixed

The strange thing is that feedparser supports authenticated feeds, so this seems to be stumbling somewhere in supybot
