State of mod_auth_digest?
I was looking at mod_auth_digest and bug 16057. Currently the shared
memory code in that module is disabled, and it turns out that has
effects throughout the module, such as disabling all client tracking,
nonce-count checking, MD5-sess, and probably other things.
I wonder if this does anything useful at all in its current state?
Regardless, I might take a stab at cleaning some of that up, if nobody
else is working on it already.

Can't wait to see this committed to trunk! ;-) It's been a
long time coming. Kudos to Joe and yourself for making it a real
option. Thanks,
Chris.

I've added a patch to bug 16057 to replace the use of shared memory with
socache. I was hoping the changes would be less pervasive, but the
shared memory assumption showed up in a lot of places.
Comments on the proposed changes would be more than welcome.

I vaguely recall that it either crashed, or the RMM segment got full up
quickly and it got stuck. I've had a TODO list item to convert the #if
0'ed code to use of ap_socache.h but never found the time.

Any and all work on the module would certainly be good!
