I’m attempting to post to my internal blog using NewGator and SauceReader. This blog runs over https with basic authentication turned on. Unfortunately, the SauceReader posting tool for .Text assumes an http:// prefix. With SauceReader out, I’m looking at NewsGator but they don’t support the basic authentication in the posting. I’m going to check if they have other posting providers for .Text.
I came across a nice post on Private RSS Feeds that documents the feed readers that enable security support.
I suppose life would be easier if I disabled https, but the content is potentially sensitive and I don’t want clear text (content and passwords) being transmitted everywhere.
