I have finally implemented HTTP authentication (totally insecure unless used with HTTPS) and SSL certificate error ignoring in Blam. This means you can get a file in a folder protected by an .htaccess file and that you can access feeds in sites with a self-signed SSL certificate.

The latter only happens if you activate "Ignore SSL certificate errors" in the preferences. If you don't it will crash (definitely something to be fixed before long).

Whilst I was writing this entry, and being inspired to by Jorge, I have finally implemented using the clipboard's content as the default URI for a new feed. And now a feed's name will contain the URI until we receive the feed and can parse its title. This should bring the bug count down a bit.
