I wish to present user a customized login form rather than use the
embedded login form that is built into the browser for my embedded shttp
application.

So what I think I have to do is following (note I do NOT want to send
the username/password free & clear, hence the need for some javascript
embedded in the form)
 Generate a html page that has entry field for username/password &
hidden realm field (corresponding to the REALM that is assigned), and
hidden shttpd-supplied nonce string.
 The form then uses javascript to use these parameters to create MD5
representation of the password, and then the form submits it all back to
the shttp-based application.

I'm confused on what the next step is .. as I'm not using the
WWW-Authenticate / Digest 401 headers ..  

Has anybody implemented a custom SSL login form? I don't want to send
anything free & clear, and have not been able to find an example shttpd
embedded app with a custom login form. (Well, found one, but it didn't
work with SSL and sent password in-the-clear).

Thanks
David
