Question

I want to have RSS feeds in my Django application, which should be
viewable only by a logged-in user. I want to allow users to add these
RSS feeds to all aggregators, so I would need something which would
work like this: supply the feed URL with a token, for example:
http://example.com/feed/rss&token=AeYQtFjQfjU5m so that token will
cause the feed to be seen as if the user would be logged in.

Is there some library in Django which would provide such a
functionality?

Answer 1

Try making a hash of some unique property of the user… something like

md5("%s!%s" % (SECRET_KEY, user.username)).hexdigest()

PS – I didn’t test this code but you get the idea
