No, it's hard-coded to my username and password.

I'll refactor that out and put up an initial version that you can take
a look at. I fully expect to have to iterate a number of times before
the code is acceptable since it involves modifications to a number of
files.

There appear to be no tests for passing urllib2 handlers through to
feedparser at present, I will try and write some as part of this work.
