I think that we don't need to worry about the case of preserving cachability in shared caches of a digest-authenticated response; because of the nonce it just can't be done (and I don't think that we would want that changed - as an origin server I can't trust the proxy anyway). The goal is to allow the athenticated message to pass through the proxy uncorrupted - that's all. -- Scott Lawrence EmWeb Embedded Server <lawrence@agranat.com> Agranat Systems, Inc.
