The Digest HTTP Authentication example implementation is incorrect. It uses the client-supplied nonce to check the validity of the credentials, instead of using the original server-supplied number. That way the client can simply ignore the server request and send a previously recorded or entirely forged reply, rendering the authentication just as vulnerable as the HTTP Basic authentication. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 81.57.229.79 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98512 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98512/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98512/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98512/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98512/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98512/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98512/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98512 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98512 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
