Hi Phil, I know that SASL is absolutely not a part of any layer of HTTP, I am using the Monkey HTTP webserver for that purpose ;) What I want is to allow my webservice to negotiate the authentication mechanism with a client browser.
Indeed, I could create my own layer using libcurl but SASL sounded to me as the right choice to that purpose. I have found few attempts to standardize HTTP authentication over SASL like this draft: * http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nystrom-http-sasl-12 Are you sure that this library won't do the trick ? Thanks, Nil.
