RSS is just XML served over HTTP.

I'm not quite clear what you mean by this. Do you wish to have an RSS
feed which cannot be accessed by anyone who does not have a valid
username and password?
If so, you probably just want to use a standard HTTP authentication
method. This is pretty simple to configure in apache, for example.My
preference would be for digest authentication, since the password is
not sent as plaintext, however I have no idea how widely supported it
is by RSS readers.
