Title:
  user-id and password not sent automatically for rss-feed

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  This is a bug I have seen for quite some time.  I am in the "make
  hardy the best release there ever was"-mood today and have brought
  myself to really reporting every single bit of problem I have put off
  for so long so somebody with the needed skills has a chance to fix it.

  I subscribe to an RSS feed hosted on a password-protected https-site
  in Thunderbird.  TB works fine but periodically asks me for the
  password although I have marked "save password with password manager"
  in the dialog.  In fact, the necessary fields are displayed filled in,
  but the pop-up comes back to me from time to time and I have to hit
  the OK button.

  I have set up a test installation which is exactly the same as the one
  I am having problems with at https://clients.leggewie.biz/tester/.
  The ssl-certificate is from cacert.org, so your browser might throw
  that up at first.  The user you need to get in is tb-tester and the
  password is launchpad.  The RSS feed is at
  https://clients.leggewie.biz/tester/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss
  When you susbscribe to that in TB and save the login credentials, you
  should have TB nagging you from time to time to with a login screen.
