Description:
When trying to login with basic authentication to access rss feed created from my Eventum account, using my Eventum user and password, after submitting it appears empty again and again. This happens only in one local Eventum installation, since I can access the RSS just fine in the other using similar access data.

How to repeat:
Go to Advanced Search
Customize the Search
Save the search
Access the RSS feed listed below
Enter Eventum user and password in popup window
You might be able to access the feed or not

I can access other resources with htaccess in the same website.

Suggested fix:
Maybe related to server config since rss.php relies on server variables such as
HTTP_AUTHORIZATION PHP_AUTH_USER PHP_AUTH_PW, but not sure.

I am unable to reproduce this. Can you add debug statements to the file to see where it is failing and asking for re-authentication?

The HTTP Authentication in PHP are only available when it is running as an Apache module.

The Eventum website with the problem is running on FastCGI.
