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.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
