Brightwurks How to Subscribe to Password-Protected Feeds with Feed My Inbox August 24, 2009 at 11:34 am This morning we received a great question from a customer asking how to subscribe to a private or password-protected feed. That's a great question we hear quite often, so we thought it would be valuable to post it here on the blog. Method 1 What seems to work best in our experience is to modify the URL of the feed to include your username/password. Here is what it should look like: https://[username]:[password]@[domain]/[path] An example with fake values filled in would look something like this: https://admin:testing@brightwurks.com/rss.xml Simply type that into Feed My Inbox, and it works like magic. We know this is tested and works well for web apps with protected feeds, like those from 37signals, as covered on their product blog a while back. Method 2 If you are not so keen about having your username/password as part of the URL and would rather have a feed URL you can share with others, FreeMyFeed.com is definitely worth a shot. Simply type in your feed URL, username and password, then they will generate a NEW URL that does not have any login information in it, like so: http://freemyfeed.com/feed/SPGadlaeK1291JA91LAMadmaldkfdls= (just an example). The only potential downfall to Free My Feed would be depending on their website to be up and working properly in order to get updates from your feed. We hope this helps, just let us know if you have any questions.   This email was sent to robibrk.symbian@blogger.com.  Manage Your Account Don't want to receive this feed any longer? Unsubscribe here.
