Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 260836

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[Benno Rice]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040825 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: 

Trying to add a feed that required HTTP Digest authentication (in this case,
livejournal.com in order to get locked posts in the RSS feed) results in an
invalid feed error message

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Manage Subscriptions dialog for an RSS account.
2. Attempt to add the listed URL as an RSS feed.
Actual Results:  
I got an error dialog telling me that the feed was invalid.  Accessing the page
via Firefox gets me the XML after I authenticate.

Expected Results:  
Asked me for authentication details and then added the feed.
