Hi, I think this is a very good addition for Axis. I have looked into all of these and I would use them if they were available. I do not find that it is stupid to have several certificates. It is often necessary to do that. Until PKI becomes a commodity item we have to deal with such problems.
I hope the dev community accepts your contribution.

I wrote several mails to the user list, but no reaction. So I thought I'll give it a shot on this list also. My mail is mainly about Digest authentication in HTTPSender class. I was playing around with this issue, because my project need both Basic and Digest authentication. So I "upgraded" HTTSender to support both authentication methods. It seems to work, but for now it only support MD5, and has a few more restrictions. I also played with SSL and client certificates. What I did is to enable the code to let the user choose the certificate to be sent based on alias. I don't know if this is useful or not, it is a stupid thing to have several certificates, but this was also a requirement from me. So I hacked this one too. Anyway I thought I'll ask you if Axis developer group is interested about these issues. I'd be most happy to contribute to Axis. In this case I'll try to make HTTPSender ever more clever and maybe support other (digest) algorithms too. So, what do you think ? Is Digest authentication planned into Axis ?
