Re: [Sip] pgp authentication

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

The short answer is that we removed it because it was unimplemented, 
incompletely specified, appeared to have no current constituency, and 
we didn't have time to deal with it in SIP.

There's a writeup on using PEM and PGP with Apache for authentication 
and encryption at:

http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/docs/PEMPGP.html

that might have pointers that would help.

I don't believe we actually have "a recommended way" to do 
www-authenticate for SIP using PGP.
