Hello,

GY>Apache::DigestAPI is a release of Recipe 13.8 in the Cookbook - a simple
GY>API for supporting Digest authentication a la mod_digest.c from the
GY>Apache distribution.

I think this is a great idea. I'm a huge fan of digest authentication as a
simple basic authentication replacement, and many modern clients now
support it. One comment, why the odd name? Shouldn't it be
Apache::AuthDigest or similar? Every library is an API so it seems kind of
odd to call it Apache::DigestAPI.

GY>keep in mind that the current implementation doesn't work with MSIE, so
GY>you'll have to use something like Opera or Konqueror (or mozilla now, I
GY>hear?) to play around with it.

MSIE does do digest authentication that works with mod_digest.c. And
Mozilla past 0.9.7 should do digest authentication.

Humbly,

Andrew
