http://wilson.ai.mit.edu/cl-http/authentication/authentication.html There are live examples of Digest authentication to test your client. These have been freely available for a year with reference implementation in a high-level language. We haven't checked the lastest version of the digest draft to make sure we handle all new additions, but we'll do so soon and drop in any needed patches. Any shortcomings are fixed in realtime when we have a minute or two. Our 1.1 testers have been very helpful and they seem to think we have as well. BTW, it would be desirable to select a better algorithm than MD5 like SHA at the earliest convenience..
