Overview
To use password protected Podcasts, you must add your login credentials to the Feed URL.
The reason for this approach is because Podcasting is a background task. It's not nice for a background task to show a popup dialog that asks for a username and password.
To add credentials to a URL, follow this form:
http://user:password@www.thepodcastilike.com/rss.xml
Special Characters
If you have special characters, replace them with these replacements:
- Replace @ with %40
- Replace the . with %2E
Example
Feed: http://www.theonion.com/podcast.xml
Username: test@jriver.com
Password: 12345
Feed URL with credentials:
http://test%40jriver%2Ecom:12345@www.theonion.com/podcast.xml
