HTTP Authentication, "warning message" and RSS Enclosure support

[=Xotic=]

I would like to see the following implimented.

1. HTTP Authentication support for announce requests

At present this is available in Azureus but no other clients that I know of. The tracker software I write supports this and it is used at a number of private sites.

2. "warning message" support for announce responses

See the BitTorrent Specification http://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification

3. RSS Enclosure support

Here is an example of the RSS XML that my tracker generates that is fully RSS 2.0 compliant.

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:torrentItem="http://xbnbt.sourceforge.net/ns/torrentItem#">

My appologies, it seems that the RSS 2.0 enclosure support does exist and does ideed work and it was an error on my part.
