httpcomponents authentication/digest parsing

[Tim Warren <pa...@gmail.com>]

I see that the httpclient has methods/classes to aid in authentication via
Basic/Digest, but the httpcomponents/core doesn't have any.

Am I missing it through my searches, or do I have to write my own routines
for server-side processing of the authentication?

Thanks,

Tim Warren.

Hi Tim

For historical reasons HttpComponents do not have a fully functional
HTTP server module with server side components for HTTP state management
(cookies), authentication and so on. HttpCore is limited to transport
components only.

I guess we would happily accept such components if you were to
contribute them.
