Give to Cesar what belong to Cesar. Bloglines has reviewed the previous security flaw I found in their system in interaction with secure web feeds and fixed it.
I was reviewing the posts that bloggers make on the subject and read all the comments on them. It leads me to check if the problem I found on Bloglines was always there. They fixed it.
How have they fixed it? No they did not delete the HTTPS and HTTP Authentication handling feature of Bloglines. They simply make the URL feeds with HTTP Authentication private.
We can’t change the status of such feeds; the system does not give us the possibility anymore. They are private and will remain private. It’s good news. As far as I know, there are no other problems with this feature in Bloglines.
I would like to thank the Bloglines team for their positive answer to my security flaw discovery and for their fast service fix.
