What does the authentication process on RSS look like?
- rlayton2 6y agoHTTP auth seems to be "the way".
- AnonC 6y agoIf your question is specific to the Ars Technica subscription, there is no authentication. Each subscriber is given a unique feed link (for whatever they want to subscribe to) so any fetch operation for the link is tied to the subscriber. Ars says that it monitors the use of feeds and will take action if any abuse is detected, but doesn’t go too deep into explaining that part. Some other services like Stratechery follow the same model, AFAIK.
