Alternative to user/pass authentication for RSS feeds
rupert says:
Saw this at Drupal. Most feedreaders have problems with authenticated feeds (user/passworded). The solution would let RTM users set a keystring when logged in which when added to the feed url, authenticates access
Enables quite secure feed distribution without passwords.
Here the clip and explanation:
Admin RSS module
The AdminRSS module creates RSS feeds for the administrative information for Drupal websites.
These feeds are protected with a keystring that must be set in admin/settings/adminrss page.
The resulting pages can then be read at:
adminrss/node/keystring - RSS feed for unapproved nodes
adminrss/comment/keystring - RSS feed for unapproved comments
This can be most useful if you are managing a number of different drupal websites and rather than visiting each one to see if there are comments/nodes that need to be approved you can use an RSS reader to find out.

Thanks for your feedback!
We've looked at URL-based authentication, but have used usernames/passwords as they provide more security. We're hoping that more feed readers will support authentication in future, as more web services provide authenticated feeds.
