Hello,
When I used digest authentication in libwww, I came across the issue
that the nonce expiry is not handled correctly, as described in issue
#39 on github (by me). I also found an existing bug report on rt, which
describes the problem even better:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=75908.
I spent a lot of time to understand the module structure and fixed the
issue, I also created tests for it (fixing also some other tests that
were non-operational), and I created pull request #40.
I have not received any response since. As also several other pull
requests are unanswered, the module looks quite unmaintained.
Please have a look at this, I really do not want to bother anyone, but
it is a real problem in a subcase of a central perl library, the fix is
already provided.
I am also ready to give more details and to improve my solution, if you
find any issues with it. However, I would not like to see my efforts
wasted. Please advise me how to proceed.
Thank you.
