Secured RSS
July 29th, 2005Will your feed reader work with a username and password?
I’ve take an approach in one of my applications where I generate a GUID and only allow HTTPS requests. So something like:
https://foo.com/rss?id=1230123012301230…
This of course should not be used with Bloglines – but its safe for desktop feed readers from what I understand since the url is encrypted.

Hmm.. what’s behind that? Why do we want to encrypt anything?

Bloglines works with HTTP authentication, and will make any freed using it private. Just insert the format of https://username:password@host/path and it should work.
