<http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/321>: We need to add a statement about what it means if a specific auth-param occurs more than once in a challenge; in particular for "realm" (ack James Manger) Proposed change: <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/attachment/ticket/321/321.diff> Which makes the beginning of 2.1 read: 2.1. Challenge and Response HTTP provides a simple challenge-response authentication mechanism that can be used by a server to challenge a client request and by a client to provide authentication information. It uses an extensible, case-insensitive token to identify the authentication scheme, followed by additional information necessary for achieving authentication via that scheme. The latter can either be a comma- separated list of parameters or a single sequence of characters capable of holding base64-encoded information. Parameters are name-value pairs where the name is matched case- insensitively, and each parameter name MUST only occur once per challenge.
