** Description changed: I am using liferea to read a private feed, that is protected via HTTPS and can be accessed via user/password only. I have my user/password for this feed configured as HTTP- Authentification. - Liferea can check whether new feed items are present without needing - that same password information. + Liferea can check whether new feed items are present. No need to type in + that password information. Configuration works. + + The feed and content are well behaved: The "WWW-Authenticate: Basic + realm" of the feed and the content are identical, and they are served by + the same host. I have configured liferea to show the items in the internal reader. - - This is all well behaved: The "WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm" of the - feed and the content is identical, and it is the same host. I click on an item the first time since liferea has been started. Expected outcome: The auth info configured into the reader is used to access the content. - Outcome seen: I need to retype user and password again. Tomorrow, again. - Day after tomorrow, again. + Outcome seen: I need to retype user and password again. (Tomorrow, + again. Day after tomorrow, again. ...)
