<p>It appears that the RSS feed for Kiln activity uses some sort of auth token[?]. Does the 'case' RSS feed have a similar ability?</p>

http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/4858/rss-feeds-link-without-password-in-clear-text/4861#4861Answer by db for RSS feed[s] link without password in clear text?db2010-09-23T17:07:09Z2012-08-29T14:28:16Z<p>RSS feeds for all authenticated users now include a token that authenticates that feed.</p>
<p>This token is much less powerful than either your user name and password, or an API token and we will be removing those means of authenticating RSS feeds in a future release.</p>
