This is a plugin that allows http authentication to the rss feeds of blog.

The plugin is based on post “A test post for a short lived experiment” by Mark Down on:

To work on some sites that runs php as cgi like dreamhost hosted you can add to the htaccess file:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
