Yes, unfortunately, due to the way digest authentication works, there is no way (or rather I should say, none known to us) we could have the validator proxy the authentication for digest-auth protected resources. See ramblings on the topic here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-qa-dev/2007Feb/0000.html One solution I could think of would be to install the validator on your internal network and then set up your web server to not require authentication for that particular host/IP.
