How do you handle RSS using HTTP basic auth? Do RSS feeders have support for basic auth built in, or is that via embedding the username and password in the url?


I embed username and password in the URL; each user gets their own dedicated RSS Url. Support for this among feed readers is admittedly spotty, for example Inoreader requires you to be on a paid plan and Feedly doesn't support it. If there's traction/interest I plan to build a lightweight feed reader right into Haven.


Could TinyRSS or whatever it's called help there?
