Bug#562241: akregator: Akregator fails to fetch feed with empty password
Package: akregator
Version: 4:4.3.4-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
My company uses services from 37Signals -- Basecamp
and Highrise. Highrise has an Atom feed of our latest
activity. Lately, 37Signals changed the authentication
mechanisms; instead of my user and password, I should
now use an "API Token" as user with an empty password
to authenticate.
Trying to fetch the feed URL this way in a browser
works. Using the API Token as username with an empty
password for fetching the feed in Thunderbird works.
I could read the feed perfectly well until this week,
and I have no reason to suspect any change in the
feed itself -- just the authentication.
In Akregator, I get "fetch error".
Thanks,
Shai.
