Description

Allow using a selfoss instance protected by http basic auth.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Protect your selfoss instance with http basic auth, in order to trust your webserver security rather than your rss reader's login security.
  2. Put in a https://login:password@example.com URL for your selfoss instance in the app.

Expected behavior: The android app attempts to connect, sending the appropriate basic auth header with it's HTTP(s) request.
Actual behavior: The URL for the instance is declared invalid. Connecting to the instance is not possible.

For those tempted to suggest I try to "has login" toggle, that is for attempting to use the Selfoss webapp-API login (as expected) rather than trying to use http basic authentication against the webserver.

Screenshots (optional)

Hi @yareckon,

I'll look into making the https://login:password@example.com format valid for the login page.

Having another toggle with two other inputs for the HTTP login and HTTP password would be too much code for something that would be simply doable via the url format.

Thanks for the report.

This should be available in the next release. It should be available in here in a few minutes, and on f-droid in some times.

Hi @AmineL , this is mostly working, and has been for months, thank you! I had an issue with this last week when I changed my password to have a number in it. I've read the code and see that you have used \D regex to match the username and password in the URL. \D won't match digits! Maybe you could try \w to match all word characters?
