Hello, on 04/04/2006 04:46 PM Laura Broughton said the following: > Hello > I have created an application exchanging messages between a client and server that allows the user to use http basic or digest authentication. Im trying to show in my work that using some kind of network analyser eg: ethereal, you can see the password-username pair in basic authentication being passed in plain text. Thing is, i cant get ethereal to pick this up, i just cant see the packet passing through my network even though the application functions correctly...so it must be somewhere! Any thoughts? Anyone have an example of what a packet would look like with the captured username-password pair in them? Basic authentication does not exactly send the credentials in plain text, but rather base64 encoded. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP Soap Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
