Re: Digest Authentication

No, I had not meant NTLM authentication. However, support for this wouldn't hurt as well, I suppose. What I am looking to do is something like the following: if browser supports digest authentication use digest authentication else use basic authentication right now, though, it looks like I will be using basic authentication only, since most browsers support it. If it becomes necessary, I will use SSL to encrypt both the authentication headers (and everything else), but I would like to avoid this if possible. In my case, I am more concerned about someone stealing login information that I am about someone seeing something they shouldn't see. With basic authentication, there is a risk of the first. With digest authentication (done properly), there is only a risk of the second. And since most of the viewable data will be public anyhow, this is not much of a concern... for now... --- Seairth Jacobs seairth@seairth.com "Manuel Lemos" <mlemos@acm.org> wrote in message news:3D6537B8.1010906@acm.org... > Hello, > > On 08/22/2002 01:29 PM, Seairth Jacobs wrote: > > I am having trouble finding working examples of HTTP Digest Authentication, > > esp. in PHP.
