What would be needed is something like Ns_RegisterAuthType() kind of thing which would invoke user-supplied function when the server does the request authorization. Additionaly, one should be able to attach different authorization schemes to different parts of the servers URL space. This again is not taken care in the current state. There are couple of other issues, related to server itself, not the nsperm module, which I can't list here, but I've spotted them as I was snooping arround... Zoran
