I'm trying to see if it's possible to implement support for HTTP
Kerberos authentication, as used by Microsoft[1] in libwww.
The questions I'm currently searching for answers to, are:
1. is the gssapi-data binary chunk mentioned in [1] something that
can be used directly in the C-binding to GSSAPI[2]?
2. can the Windows native security API, SSPI, use the gssapi-data
binary chunk in[1]?
3. is there a thin GSSAPI wrapper to SSPI available from somwhere?
4. is it possible to use SASL, rather than GSSAPI to implement[1]?
(SSPI has an implementation of SASL)
www.google.com hasn't yet brought me any definite answers to these
questions. Pointers, guesses, and hints, appreciated.
Thanx!
