FreeMyFeed - Free Your Feed From Authentication

image

What about this site?

Free your feed from authentication or invalid SSL certificates for use in the feed reader of your choice.

Have you ever wanted to view an RSS feed in a web base feed reader such as Google Reader or Bloglines, but could not because the feed required user authentication or used an invalid SSL certificate?

Well this site aims to be your solution. Using the form above, enter in the feed url, your username and password and then submit. You will be taken to a new page with an alternate URL for your use.

This site does not require that you include a username or password. If you want to use this for all of your feeds, whether they require user authentication, are protected by https or whatever, feel free to do so.

If you want to make the URL shorter I suggest using TinyURL.

Some feeds url is required a secret way to visit, so you can use this site to read these feeds in Google reader or other web base feed readers.

But there is a problem as this blog:http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/04/subscribe-to-authenticated-feeds-in.html

It's not a good idea to enter your username and password in any other place than the site where you created them, but FreeMyFeed could be useful for feeds that are not tied to important accounts. Make sure you don't share any item from the generated feeds.
So you must notice to protect what you think is secret.
