Adding a feed that requires a login

question
#1

I’ve got a couple of feeds that require authentication (HTTP basic auth). Is it possible to add these to Newsblur?

There is only one supported way:

http://username:password@feedurl.com/…

#3

are these feeds private?
ie if i add http://username:password@feedurl.com/… can someone else find it using the search on the dashboard?

I’m interested not in whether my data is accessible but whether the feed is. small but important difference. Eg I have a feed for all my photos of my kids. I don’t want anyone to find it.

Right, I thought I fixed the link, bad copypasta. Samuel’s comment was that only feeds with two followers or more get dropped into the public searchable queue at the moment.
