How to get a feed from a password protected Discourse?

The upside is that some of this work is work we want to do regardless of RSS, but the downside is that some of the work is very tightly coupled to RSS and there are very few people who use this feature these days.

I’ve got WordPress and Discourse integrated with WordPress doing SSO. I’m generating a sidebar of recent posts in WordPress using RSS feeds from a number of categories using the API so would love to maintain the URL auth mechanism for that. Otherwise I’m going to have to get my hands dirty writing a custom widget to try to implement the header auth option. So I guess I’m a +1 for the few people that use it.
