Hi Andrey,

Excuse my ignorance, but in simple terms what is the protocol underlying
digest auth? Does WebFolders actually implement the client piece of the
authentication mechanism?  I'm trying to understand how sophisticated a
web client WebFolders is and whether it is actively participating in
authenticating user to Tomcat/Slide.

Thanks,
Warwick
