DIGEST-MD5 on HTTP webserver

Hi Phil,

I know that SASL is absolutely not a part of any layer of HTTP, I am using
the Monkey HTTP webserver for that purpose ;)
What I want is to allow my webservice to negotiate the authentication
mechanism with a client browser.

Indeed, I could create my own layer using libcurl but SASL sounded to me as
the right choice to that purpose.
I have found few attempts to standardize HTTP authentication over SASL like
this draft:
 * http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nystrom-http-sasl-12

Are you sure that this library won't do the trick ?

Thanks,
Nil.
