Confluence uses cookies for authentication – well and good. But, I really really find it useful to track wikis using news aggregators via a wiki's RSS feed(s). Did I mention really useful.
There are plenty of news aggregators out there that can handle http authentication, either in the url or not. My favorite (sharpreader) does, newsgator, etc.
None that I know of are equiped to use cookies at all. While I think it wouldn't be hard to add something like this (esp. for aggregators that integrate the browser somehow), they have argued that it doesn't make sense for RSS feeds to use cookie authentication. That makes sense – there is no need to remember session/state information with an RSS feed, which is the point of cookies in my understanding.
Can JIRA be tailored to use HTTP authentication for for the RSS feeds, when those feeds originate from spaces that require authentication? I realize that spaces can be tailored so that non-authenticated users can read them, but we just can't go that way, I'm told.
