 Summary: Support for digest authentication in HttpWebRequest
 
 Only Basic authentication is supported currently. We gotta add support for
 Digest too.

+------- Additional Comments From spouliot@videotron.ca  2003-08-17 21:00 -------
+Digest Authentification is specified in RFC 2617 
+(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt).
+
+There is a partial server implementation (IHttpModule) which works 
+with XSP (only tested under Windows) available at:
+http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/stories/2002/07/09/webServicesSecu
+rityHttpDigestAuthenticationWithoutActiveDirectory.html
+
+I'll contact the author to know about the source code license. If 
+not compatible with Mono I'll rewrite it from scratch (which is 
+partly required because we need a client implementation). Who knows 
+maybe we could get another helpful sample for XSP!
