Necessity is the mother of invention. Proof that there is need for this would be that someone has already implemented it, regardless of whether they make their implementation publically available. Having discussion threads about feature requests isn't proof that the features are necessary. :-) > Digest auth or not, if we can bring AS to be more versatile > with *minimal* effort, what not doing this? I personally don't want to see AOLserver become a collection trivial to implement features that a small subset of the user community wants and/or needs. If someone has the spare time to make the change Jim suggested and do all the necessary regression testing to ensure that normal request processing isn't broken by the change ... maybe their time would be better spent improving the DB API or something that's more generally useful to the majority of AOLserver users? > I really do not undersand the point of this thread any more. I'm not sure there was a point in the first place. As you pointed out, this very same discussion happened nearly two years ago, and we still have nothing more than Basic auth. and the community as a whole seems to have survived without much complaint.
