As far as I can tell, Web Folders will have nothing to do with Digest
authentication.  In one mode, my server will send back challenges on 
the order of

WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="quux" Digest realm="quux" nonce="b806c84912cb622b25ffa4d6ec8dd98f" algorithm=MD5 qop="auth"

and it promptly identifies the realm as 'quux" Digest realm="quux"'
when prompting the user. :-P  If I set my server to accept only Digest 
authentication, Web Folders will send Basic anyway and be rejected.
