NAME

HTTP::DAVServer::AuthDigest - Allows for customized password lookups when using the Digest authorization mechanism.

DESCRIPTION

This module is called as part of the DAV handler when it is a non-public server that does not have a REMOTE_USER set already. You can pass in a subreference which will be called to lookup the user's password.

For testing this is simply all users are valid and their password is their userid.

In order for this code to work it must get the "Authorization" header passed in via CGI. To do this you need to compile Apache with the ominous define "SECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION"

CFLAGS="-DSECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION" ./configure

Like people haven't sniffed your basic authorization header before it got to the server already. At least with Digest this header is a bit less useful for the hostial sniffer.

This code is not done and is only a sketch.
