Using feeds that require HTTP Digest Access Authentication

[xcomme]

Tutorial says: "For feeds that require HTTP authentication, simply use this format for the feed URL: http://username:password@sometorrentsite.com/rss.php"

This is "Basic Access Authentication". But some sites use more advanced "Digest Access Authentication" which does not send password as cleartext like "Basic Access Authentication".

Any expert knows what should be used for this case? Thx

? If by digest you mean it uses cookies, use the :COOKIE: notation following @ http://utorrent.com/rsstutorial.php

No, HTTP authentication is different from cookie authentication.

... so uT needs to add a webserver to add that? Seems wasteful.

[DreadWingKnight]

No it doesn't.

Ahh, k. So does this go into the requests section... or is it rejected?

Requests section indeed. Title edited to be more explicit.
