Bear in mind that Basic auth in HTTP use login password in clear text 
(well, base64 encoded for that matters but still), in that case it is easy 
to store locally in md5 but as all that is required is to sniff the 
network...
For Digest auth, a part of the hash requires the passwd in clear text on 
both side
A1       = unq(username-value) ":" unq(realm-value) ":" passwd
