[gpodder-devel] [Patch] Password protected download servers

Hello!
I just signed up for the distorted view show member's feed (you get extra show
content, etc). The problem is that the download server is password protected
which means the podcast client must understand how to do basic http
authentication.
Attached is a patch against svn revision 351 to add the ability to download
podcasts from password protected server directories. It stores the username
and password in the index.xml files in each local podcast directory. The
passwords are obfuscated using a simple mapping table and the
string.translate function. I know this isn't secure but I don't think it's
advisable to store the passwords in plaintext either. The username and
password are set via the "Advanced" tab in the "Edit channel information"
dialogue.
If you would like to test it, I set up a feed and password protected directory
on my server (with a 5 second "podcast" I made). Here's the info for that:
feed url: http://nikosapi.org/test_protected_feed/feed.xml
username: user01
password: testfeed
Also, I fixed a little bug that would cause gPodder to freeze when loading a
cover file with 0 length.
