Not sure if I'm describing this properly, but I've been asked to write an app that sends XML data to a device via TCP/IP, but the device is expecting "Digest Authentification" as part of the http POST method.� Can anyone tell me if Revolution supports this type of authentification, or if there's another means of doing Digest Authentification?� I'm writing this for Mac OS 8,9 and X.Rev does have a md5Digest() function. Using that you could encypt the username and password, and use libURLSetCustomHTTPHeaders() to configure the HTTP request to include the Username and Password with the http request. I haven't tried this, but it seems like it should work.
My friends on the PC-side tell me that they wrote their version with Visual Basic, and used some sort of Microsoft XML library, with an XML.HTTP.SEND call.� They said something about using an "MD5 Hash".� I'm not familiar with VB at all - - - I'm just hoping that Revolution has comparible support for such a call.� If Revolution can do this, it will make my day!
