[basex-talk] Client auth debugging

I'm implementing a client per basex api shown here: https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Server_Protocol#Authentication

I'm working on digest auth and I can get back the realm and timestamp. I'm getting an access denied however when I send the username and token. My questions are:

1) What tips are there for debugging authentication implementation? I've set logs.debug to true in .basex and and tail them. I can see access denied but there's no info to help me debug. I'd like to at least see what the server is receiving. Any way to do that? BTW, my token creation is correct per the example in the docs.

2) It's taking a long time, 60s, for the test to run. Any way to speed that up?
