Actually, this is a project which I wrote for myself only and just published it here. Firstly I even thought to specify access tokens in a config and do not use any auth at all, but then I decided to add at least a basic auth to prevent users from occasional adding of social-rss feeds to public RSS readers, which may compromise their friends' privacy. So I beleive that some auth is required and http basic auth is the one which is supported by RSS readers.
I think I wrote my report bad, so you misunderstood it. Now if you use second line:
http://localhost:8888/vk.rss
you get authentication dialog in Firefox, Kontact and some other application, where you can fill token. And that works OK. If I write:
http://:YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN@localhost:8888/vk.rss
I have troubles (at least in Firefox), see original bug report for details.
So this report is not about changing something in authorization, it's about Readme file (see caption). I propose to write that line:
http://localhost:8888/vk.rss
and then write: "If no authorization dialog was shown, try this:
http://:YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN@localhost:8888/vk.rss
I hope I made my report clear. Sorry for vague report.
I propose change address:
to:
because of:
PS: I think it's unsafe connecting to this server from untrusted networks because of plain http auth. Is there plans for https?
