This is probably a simply yes/no question for those of you that are
more knowledgable of web server authentication schemes, but if you
could help me understand I'd appreciate it.

I'm trying to retrieve an RSS feed from an Apache web server.  The
feed is secured by htdigest authentication.  My CFHTTP call is failing
even with the username and password I'm passing (which are correct).
In reading the docs, I can see that this method of using cfhttp only
supports basic authentication so I'm wondering:

1.  What exactly is the difference between basic auth and htdigest?
Is it simply the encrypted storage?
2.  Is there any way to access these feeds via cfhttp?

Thanks.
