Describe the feature you'd like

Some feeds are behind a login. As far as I can tell Karakeep currently can not fetch these feeds.

My use case for this:
I use Readeck for reading articles. Once I have read an article in Readeck I archive it there. It would nice to then have the article in Karakeep. Readeck generates an RSS feed of the archive, and Karakeep can import from RSS feeds, so basically all the building blocks are there. However Readeck requires a username and password (API token actually). This prevents Karakeep from fetching the feed.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

It allows people to use all kinds of feeds which are password protected

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I tried adding the username & password in the url (https://username:api-token@readeck.foo.com), which worked correctly in the browser but still gave an error in Karakeep. So I don't think so

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

Additional context

No response

Maby the new option to point to a .json file containing the login cookies would work?
I use it to be able to hoard from a website without entering my login.
