Bug Description

I am using liferea to read a private feed, that is protected via HTTPS and can be accessed via user/password only.

I have my user/password for this feed configured as HTTP-Authentification.

Liferea can check whether new feed items are present. No need to type in that password information. Configuration works.

The feed and content are well behaved: The "WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm" of the feed and the content are identical, and they are served by the same host.

I have configured liferea to show the items in the internal reader.

I click on an item the first time since liferea has been started.

Expected outcome: The auth info configured into the reader is used to access the content.

Outcome seen: I need to retype user and password again. (Tomorrow, again. Day after tomorrow, again. ...)
