As you may know, we are in the final stages of the HTTP/1.1 process for going to draft standard. One of the things that we need is to show that digest authentication works as specified by ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-http-authentication-01.txt I am looking for volunteers that have a) already implemented this in libwww or b) would like to do so in the near future. If so do they want to share the code with the rest of the libwww community? The hooks for new authentication schemes are already there - they can be registered dynamically in libwww using the HTAA_newModule(...) function described in http://www.w3.org/Library/src/HTAAUtil.html The Basic auth is done this way and you can find the implementation in http://www.w3.org/Library/src/HTAABrow.html In http://www.w3.org/Library/src/HTAABrow.c I started a long time ago making a digest implementation but it's not finished and needs some work to get working. Any taker for this task? I can assure you that you will get a lot of applause from everybody working on HTTP!
