Documentation

Overview

Package digest provides a limited implementation of HTTP Digest Authentication, as defined in RFC 2617.

Only the "auth" QOP directive is handled at this time, and while support for the SHA-256 algorithm is implemented here it does not actually work in either Chrome or Firefox.

For more info, see: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digest_access_authentication
