Hi there.
RFC 2617 ("HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication")
has finally been obsoleted.
It has been superseded by a document set consisting of:
RFC 7235: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Authentication
(defining the authentication framework, published last year),
RFC 7615: HTTP Authentication-Info and Proxy-Authentication-Info
Response Header Fields (defining just two optional header fields),
RFC 7616: HTTP Digest Access Authentication, and
RFC 7617: The 'Basic' HTTP Authentication Scheme.
The two latter documents have been developed in the HTTPAUTH working group.
Best regards, Julian
PS1: We failed to make the document titles for Basic and Digest
consistent. Sorry.
PS2: RFC 7615 is of course a candidate for inclusion into RFC 7235bis.
