[pmwiki-users] How to password protect an rss feed

[Randy]

I'd like to have an rss feed that is password protected. I realize  
that the password will be recorded in Apache's access logs and will  
travel the internet in the clear, but at least it offers some security.

According to http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WebFeeds:

Lastly, it's also possible to configure the webfeeds to obtain the  
authentication information from the url directly, as in:

.../Site/AllRecentChanges?action=rss&authpw=secret
I tried setting a password on a page that I can read with a feed  
reader when the page has no password. I then appended  
"&authpw=mypassword" to my normal rss URL. My feed reader failed to  
pick up the feed. Is there some other trick involved to get this to  
work?
