Before 3.2 I used this URL

.../feed.php?auth=http

Together with my credentials in various external RSS readers (eg Thunderbird and RSSDemon worked perfectly).

Those URL came up with an auth challenge and after successful login you get a feed meeting what you are entitled to.

After 3.2 this isn't possible anymore. The url:

.../feed.php?auth=http

is redirected to

app.php/feed

and the htp-auth query is ignored. Adding the query to app.php/feed?auth=http isn't working, too. It seems it is just ignored here .

Though the right feed is displayed well, if you view it in a bowser that has the auth in cache or is already authorised, the missing auth challenge prevents that you can use external RSS readers, that used to work perfectly before. As I am really in need of that feature I am afraid I have to downgrade .
