Hello,

I have been hesitated to support digest authentication in Pegasus (another httpd for Plan9), because I have been suspicious that digest authentication is not widely supported by browsers. If recent browsers are supporting digest authentication, I will try to support it in Pegasus.

By the way, I don't think digest authentication is useful in case we want to protect some web contents from local users or other person's CGI.
Look

http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/pegasus/eman-2.1/
for the solution.

has anyone done any cgi's that enforce digest authentication?

i need it to enforce access control to some content that needs to be
accessible by none; along these lines:
