Date : 21-Sep-00
This document specifies a method with-which Digest Authentication
can be performed between two clients over the IRC protocol and
specifies a way in which digest authentication may be used by
an IRC server to validate the authorization of a client attempting
to connect or gain operator privileges on the server without
the revealing the 'password' being used in the process to a third
party packet-sniffing the connection for the very purpose of
discovering it.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
