Bug description: chapter 17; first comment on crypt incorrect
The first comment in chapter 17 HTTP authentication states that you can
easily add encryption to HTTP authentication by using the crypt() function.
Not so. PHP runs server side so anything entered at the prompt on the
client side must still travel over the network unencrypted. Thus, this
person's comment is fallacious and should be removed.
