DO NOT REPLY [Bug 45832] New: add DIGEST authentication support to Ant tasks

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45832

           Summary: add DIGEST authentication support to Ant tasks
           Product: Tomcat 6
           Version: 6.0.18
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: marcus@better.se


It would be useful if the Catalina Ant tasks supported HTTP Digest
authentication, in addition to Basic authentication. This is convenient if one
already has a digest-based security realm and doesn't want to maintain an extra
 tomcat-users.xml file. (And Basic authentication is terribly insecure.)

Currently the AbstractCatalinaTask [1] just performs Basic authentication:

  // Set up an authorization header with our credentials
  String input = username + ":" + password;
  String output = new String(Base64.encode(input.getBytes()));
  hconn.setRequestProperty("Authorization",
                           "Basic " + output);

Personally, I'd rather not add a dependency just for that.

Is it ok to use something like commons-httpclient that does Digest auth?
