The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) provides a simple challenge-
response authentication mechanism that may be used by a server to
challenge a client request and by a client to provide authentication
information.  This document defines the HTTP Digest Authentication
scheme that can be used with the HTTP authentication mechanism.

This document is a product of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Authentication Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.
