[GRLUG] HTTPS & HTTPAuth

[L. V. Lammert]

Setting up a secure server, .. and the docs state that the UID/PW for 
Basic Authentication is sent as clear text, .. *BUT* over an https 
connection is not the UID/PW sent over https, or is it sent before 
the SSL connection is initialized?

The question, then, is whether there is any reason to use Digest 
Authentication for an https server?

	TIA,
