    Description

      Started working on a prototype over the weekend (building on top of the SPNEGO auth work) which supports HTTP Basic and Digest authentication.

      Basic is the "dirt-simple" approach, but insecure (unless TLS is introduced). Digest is similarly simple (compared to Kerberos, anyways), but doesn't require wire encryption to protect against malicious third-parties.
