Mailing List Archive: HTTP Auth: Digest authentication

Hi Andrew,

Do you have any plans for implementing digest authentication in DAViCal?
From the example here: http://php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php
It does not seem to be rocket science:-)

It should already work with Digest authentication, however this requires
passwords to be stored in the clear in DAViCal, which is not ideal.
There's no support in DAViCal for storing passwords in the clear when
they get changed, either, though it would not be hard to add something
to do this. There may be other changes in the Digest auth code - I
wrote it ages ago but it's almost never used.

Cheers,
Andrew.

You have an unusual equipment for success. Be sure to use it properly.
