Google Feed API with password

[marcello]

Hi,

For what I understand there is no way to store and access a feed
protected by password, is it right?

Unless you can pass the user credentials through URL, you are correct.

Actually, I am trying to pass credentials through URL but content loading fails (it says: Feed Not Found). Is there a specific syntaxI should use to pass credentials through URL?

 

Thanks!

Actually, I am trying to pass values in these different ways:

- http://user:password@URL
- http://URL?user:password
- http://URL&user:password
Where URL is the feed url under http protocol.

But nothing. Anyone can provide any idea about this issue? :-)

Thanks.

Marcello

In all likelihood, the feed url would have to have this sort of form:

http://domain.com/rss?username=xxx&password=yyy

But, to be honest, I would be very much surprised if that worked.
Generally speaking, it's a bad deal to allow that kind of login
because the username and password are always passed in the open, and
will always be visible in the address bar and/or code.

Yes,

Actually this option doesn't work. And yes, it's very bad to pass
these values in the URL. :-S

Thanks anyway.
