RSS log/pass

[Rémi]

Hello,

I would like to create a podcsat/rss stream on my website but i wan't to
allow mp3 downloads only to people who have a log/password or a least a
"secret" word.

Is that possible ?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Rémi.

Yes, it's possible.

You must handle HTTP request to your mp3 files, authenticate user and
if authentication is successed permit file downloading.

Which software do you use on your site? On what platform your site is
hosted? Do you use any server-side scripts?

Best, Ed.

Nothing special really....
It is for a webradio, they just have mp3 stored on a server.
I would like to create a XML/RSS file from that but i would like to
allow download only to people who have a valid id/pass. People will be
allowed then to download the last show of their favorite program

Is it possible with ipodder, itunes or another one ?
Actually, I know how to write a XML/RSS file (by hand or with
feedburner.com) but how to put a restriction on it ? a log/pass ?

Thanks for your help.

I see ! You mean eg a rss/podast stream located at something like :
http://mywebradio.com/podcast.php?login=name&pass=pass ?
or at least :
http://mywebradio.com/podcast.php?secretword=ninini ?
I am right ?

For now the platform is :
Apache/2.0.49 (Win32) mod_perl/1.99_12 Perl/v5.8.3 mod_ssl/2.0.49
OpenSSL/0.9.7d mod_python/3.1.3 Python/2.3.3 mod_fastcgi/2.4.2
mod_jk/1.2.0 DAV/2 Server at www.mywebradio.com Port 80

Thanks.
Rémi.

As already mentioned, you have to do that on HTTP layer, not in RSS. The
server, where the files are stored must be password-protected.

Nearly. First of all you must have knowledges about server-side
web-delepmoment. Do you have this knowledges? You can use for example
PHP on your server to handle HTTP requests or Perl or ASP or ASP .NET
or Java...

or at least :

I can't say i have this knowledge but somme people involved in this
project have (much better than me!). The problem is, thanks to yours
helps, a matter of PHP scritping to handle those HTTP resquests...
