Hello,

I have been hesitated to support digest authentication in Pegasus  
(another httpd for Plan9),
because I have been suspicious  that digest authentication is not  
widely supported by browsers.
If recent browsers are supporting digest authentication, I will try  
to support it in Pegasus.

By the way, I don't think digest authentication is useful in case we  
want to protect some web contents from local users or other person's  
CGI.
Look
http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/pegasus/eman-2.0/
http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/pegasus/eman-2.1/
for the solution.
