Re: [jetty-users] Adding Credential Types?
|
From the RFC in question:
"Note: This is unrelated to HTTP Digest Authentication. Instance
Digests in HTTP provide a digest, also known as a checksum or hash,
of an entire representation of the current state of a resource."
Looks like we all jumped the gun, the RFC is not meant as an extension for HTTP Digest. It would still be trivial to add support for them to Digest as suggested, but it would be completely non-standard implementation.
I'll have to think about this more when I get closer to revising that part of our application.

For my application that's not a big deal as it's a JAX-RS web service with Jetty 7 on one end and Apache HttpComponents Client on the other. It will be some time before I'm ready to make a final decision on this, but I may just implement it on both ends and submit patches to the projects. At a glance it looks pretty trivial to implement.
