RSS feed – how to bypass authentication ?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 29.2008

Hi Friends,
Can someone tell me how to setup an RSS feed on forums that are not open to guest users and requires authentication. Are there any RSS feed aggregrators that allow you to specify a username/password that they can use when fetching the feed data???

Rite now, i have forums open to registered members only and all my RSS feeds have stopped working as they cannot bypass the authentication mechanism.

Thanks

What ray326 was referring to was probably something like:

http://username:[email protected]/feed/rss.php

or

https://username:[email protected]/feed/rss.php
