Why DOM and not SAX? Is it really meaningful to hold the entire WebDAV message in memory as a DOM tree? You really only need to pick up a few things (which SAX would be great for) then form a response -- this is where I might use DOM to assemble the outgoing XML message. > I'm going to do the Digest authorization for it so you can have > it pretty soon.

Leave nsperm in place (to not break backward compatibility, etc.) but start fresh with a well-designed nsauth. Could a short design discussion be in order? What are the concerns, and the needs that must be addressed? -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
