[BUG]: Failing loading images from RSS feed with authentication enabled

[lrea]

Brief description of the issue

The tool fail loading images from authenticated Jira and Confluence RSS feeds, I suppose it's because authentication is only used to retrieve content of articles, not to load images.

How to reproduce the bug?

add a feed which points to an RSS Feed with authentication enabled

What was the expected result?

loading images inside articles

What actually happened?

content of article is showed without images (they appear with a broken icon)

Debug log

no relevant info

Operating system and version

• OS: Windows 10
• RSS Guard version: 4.3.2

Well, to actually fix this, I would need some example authenticated feed. Also, is this with classic or nonwebengine rssguard?

EDIT: Just checked with some Jira/Confluence acc I have. Personal activity stream feed is really behind authentication and Jira does have "personal access token" feature. The token can be generated on the website and then is passed to each auth request via "Authentication" feature.

This feature is indeed not yet supported because RSS Guard so far only supports HTTP Basic authentication for feeds while this is HTTP Bearer authentication (de facto OAuth).

started to work on this

[martinrotter]

checked with my Qt Bugreports acc and images work now, but this is now highly experimental feature

Is there any chance to have soon a minor release with the issue fixed ?

Yes, but you can always download development build.
