Dear BaseX team,

are there any plans for supporting digest authentication?

In my opinion this would be a minor breakthrough for the applicability of BaseX in typical enterprise environments (or at least in mine...), where many services require digest authentication. Support would mean that, for example, very lightweight BaseX scripting can be used for integration tasks and service testing. Another way to put it: highly valuable (and presently via XQuery inaccessible) information would be integrated into the information space on which to operate without further ado - just writing a BaseX script.

Hence my strong interest.

Kind regards,

Hans-Jürgen
