In section 2.1.1 of draft-ietf-http-digest-aa-05.txt, the
syntax for WWW-Authenticate is given as:
WWW-Authenticate = "WWW-Authenticate" ":" "Digest"
digest-challenge
digest-challenge = 1#( realm | [ domain ] | nonce |
[ digest-opaque ] |[ stale ] | [ algorithm ] )
realm = "realm" "=" realm-value
realm-value = quoted-string
domain = "domain" "=" <"> 1#URI <">
nonce = "nonce" "=" nonce-value
nonce-value = quoted-string
opaque = "opaque" "=" quoted-string
stale = "stale" "=" ( "true" | "false" )
algorithm = "algorithm" "=" ( "MD5" | token )
My question is about "digest-opaque". Is the term "opaque"
supposed to be "digest-opaque"? This seems to be the intention
here, but the syntax does not reflect it. Am I missing something
from somewhere else? The term "digest-opaque" does not
appear anywhere else in the draft nor in the HTTP draft 07.
thanks,
Paul
