i noticed httpdigest proto has been added to factotum.  one of the
suggestions in the old thread was for each user to run its own httpd.
combining this with a change to the 'who' handler to redirect a ~user
request to the user's httpd (port↔user mapping) should do it.  each
user's own httpd (probably with ssl) then challenges all incoming
requests against his/her own factotum which would have a server side
secret for httpdigest proto.

I was able to look at 2.0 version but not 2.1.
