Hi to all. I am trying to use an .htaccess file with AuthType Digest in a particular directory my server. The server is running Apache 1.3.33 on FreeBSD 4.7. When I go to the protected page via browser, I get the expected username and password dialog. When I go with Internet Explorer (apparently some folks still use that!) it just gives the generic "The page cannot be displayed". Any ideas on what the problem might be?
I have encountered only one possibility so far. In the doc at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/auth.html#digest, it says: "Digest authentication is implemented by the module mod_auth_digest. There is an older module, mod_digest, which implemented an older version of the digest authentication specification, but which will probably not work with newer browsers." When I go to my httpd.conf file, I have no module, commented or not, called mod_auth_digest. I have enabled mod_digest. Is this likely to be the problem? If so, how might I add that module?
