Summary: Invalid Warning For HTTP Digest Authentication
Product: WebKit
Version: 525.x (Safari 3.1)
Platform: Macintosh
OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: WebKit Misc.
AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
ReportedBy: dac514 at hotmail.com
When using HTTP Digest Authentication, Safari warns "Your password will be sent
in the clear" which is not a true statement.
This is problematic because it makes a login that is (more or less) secure seem
very insecure to the user.
If you want a quick way to setup HTTP Digest Authentication, phpMyID uses it.
Otherwise, Apache has mod_auth_digest which is also easy to setup.
