Does there exist an RSS reader that supports secure (NTLM + HTTPS) feeds?

I've tried RSS Demon, with no luck.

Rss bandit is a windows rss reader, not android. If you are looking for android, what exactly do you mean by secure? https, or feeds that require a username and password? – Ryan Conrad Jun 27 '11 at 15:19
my bad, that should have said demon ;) fixed! it requires a username and password – Patricia Jun 27 '11 at 15:21
Have you tried using the http:// user:pass@www.example.com/ syntax? – BMitch Jun 27 '11 at 17:57
@B Mitch: unfortunately that won't work either as the feed requires SSL – Patricia Jun 27 '11 at 18:14
https:// user:pass@www.example.com would give you ssl support and allow you to pass the username/password. If this doesn't work, then what exactly type of authentication is used? – Ryan Conrad Jun 27 '11 at 18:53

so it turns out android as an operating system doesn't support anything other the basic http authentication! so there won't be any readers out there that can support this :(

The browser does not support NTLM currently. I have read, but do not know 100%, that NTLM is supported in android 3.1 – Ryan Conrad Jun 28 '11 at 15:20
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4962#c247 as I said, 3.1 adds support for it in the browser. NTLM would have to be implemented by the developer, until there is built-in support in the SDK (3.1). – Ryan Conrad Jun 28 '11 at 16:52
sadly my device isn't 3.1, it's 2.2 – Patricia Jun 28 '11 at 17:12
