thats to high for me :-) and there is something inside with proxy and to much coding

actually i payed for the access to this podcast,

i tried to create new podcast with this link:

https://user@name.de:pAsswOrd@couch.fer ... k.tv/feed/

did not work

is it possible that you can give a script for easy http basic authentication, where i have only to change the username and password, that it will work and an explanation to do the right settings, scripting is another world for me

Hi there,
Some info on the subject.
HTTP Basic authentication is negotiated during HTTP header exchange between parties when on client's request the server responds with "HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required" answer. Then the client has to authenticate by sending a BASE64 encoded hash of the string formed by user name and password separated by a colon. Resulting answer is something like this "Authorization: Basic Q3uIdhokqiwmAvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==" followed by a blank line.
This is quite different from a GET request with user name and password which is FTP authenticating style. It's possible to be achieved by WMS and maybe I'll try to do it if I find a spare time. So this is not a promise :D .
Regards

I think, just check "Remember my password"
