Description: Added support for the message digest authentication protocol as defined in <draft-ietf-http-authentication-03>. I did succesful interoperability tests against Apache 1.3.3 and Agrawal's test site. Note that Apache implements an old version of this authentication protocol. Status: This work is still under progress. I consider this implementation to support around 85% of the current draft. As I was unable to test my code against server-side implementations of the current draft, it may not work as intended in those cases. The remaining 15% concerns support for the following features: - auth-int, - md5-sess, - client-nonce. Comments: A fun and interesting project. So far, libwww's API has provided all the hooks to the code. Good work Henrik!
