As you might remember, I have been pounding my head against the

pollserver implementation with reference to the use of AUTH in trunk.
Matt gave
me some ideas, but I was not able to figure out how to use the
CONTINUATION to
get the next line of data (since login may require up to 2 additional
round-trips and both plain and cram-md5 require 1).
So I punted. I added code to Pollserver so that if a transaction is
in the
AUTH_PENDING state, it will continue to loop through auth_process()
until it is
complete. I'm too tired to commit this now, but I'll do so in the
morning
unless I hear lots of complaints (or word from Matt on how to simplify
the code
using the real continuation logic).
The more I think about it this might be the only way to do it. Sorry I
haven't been much help on this :-/
Commit away.
Matt.
