Display Password Protected RSS Feed

    I have my blog in a password protected directory on my server.

    I’ve settings generate an RSS feed with summaries of the posts.

    I want to use a script to display the RSS feed on a NON password protected page (same domain). The basis idea is to use the summaries of the posts to generate interest so that someone would then want to pay to access the password protected blog.

    Problem is that the RSS feed won’t display because it’s trying to access a password protected page. Therefore, what is the best way to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish??

    Thanks!

    Feeds, in general, don’t work well with password protection, because feed readers, in general, cannot read them.

    My advice would be to change the .htaccess protection settings to exclude the feed URL from the password protection.

    My capabilities end at pasting information into the .htaccess file. I would appreciate if a sample of what should be entered to achieve the exclusion of the feed URL from password protection could be provided.

    THANKS!
