RSS feed and authentication #26

Open antoche opened 11 years ago

What are the requirements for an RSS client to access Acralyzer's RSS feed? I can click the RSS icon in the "latest reports" view and see the RSS content alright, but if I give that link to an RSS reader, I don't get anything. I presume that the RSS client can't login into the website. The client I tried had support for login/password authentication, but I'm guessing this is for HTTP basic authentication, which is not what Acralyzer is using?

The authentication is actually part of couchdb and not acralyzer.

I was able to get it working on the command line with curl, but not with firefox/chrome. You should be able to use url auth

I'd hope there is a better solution, but I haven't been able to find anything yet.

I've tested successfully the RSS feed with SharpReader with its basic authentication feature.
