You missed the point, anything that htpasswd or htdigest produce must be parsable by mod_auth or mod_auth_digest, respectively. -1 on this patch [veto], please back out your commit. Now then... Mladen Turk offered several patches that would roll up htpasswd and htdigest behavior (along with htdbm) into a single utility. If you want a tool that creates different sorts of passwords using different storage mechanisms, perhaps its time to review that submission. It would be trivial to offer some .sh (.bat) scripts that replace the existing htpasswd, htdigest and htdbm utilities, providing the -right- flags to this new, single rollup utility based on the expected args of the old tools.
