Description dlesage 2009-10-05 01:34:25 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Description of problem:
Not sure if this is a bug or a limitation of the software... If an RSS feed
requires a password, Akregator is simply failing to retrieve the articles.  It
neither prompts the user for a password nor does it display any error message
if the OPML is imported.  If the secure feed is added from scratch, an
incorrect "feed not found" message is diplayed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Akregator 1.5.0 (KDE 4.3.0)

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install kdepim.
2. Launch akregator.
3. Import an *.opml file containing a feed that requires a password.
4. Try to fetch feed.  User is neither prompted for the password nor confronted
with an error message.
5. We now try to add the feed afresh:  Feed->Add Feed.
6. Input

https://jira.jboss.org/jira/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-comments-rss/12312796/SearchRequest-12312796.xml?tempMax=25

as the feed name.
7. "Feed not found" error dialogue box appears, despite the fact that the feed
exists and another RSS feeder (Blam) can retrieve the articles.

Actual results:
Cannot detect this feed nor retrieve the article

Expected results:
Should either prompt user for a password and then retrieve the articles or, in
both situations, display a correct error message that it cannot retrieve
articles from secure feeds.

I can't reproduce the issue with the site you mentioned. I see the authentification window. 

Can you update your KDE version to 4.3.2 and retry please ? 
You may also check if you see the authentification dialog when you open this URL directly in Konqueror.

I can confirm comment #1 using kde sc 4.4.0 that I get an authorization dialog now as well.
