I know this must be a FAQ, but I have not found the answer anywhere...
And I posted my question to comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix and never got
a reply.

If I decide to use Apache 1.1.3 (I'd upgrade to 1.2.x if the functionality I
need is there), and Netscape Navigator 3.01 as my client, is it possible to
use MD5 mod_digest for authentication for this client/server combo?  I keep
getting an error about the client using the wrong authentication type. 
Also, does anyone have a list of supported clients for this module? Possibly
MS Explorer?

Also, I am assuming that (most) MD5 clients would encrypt the password
before they transmit it over the network.  I am trying to use an
authentication method (w/ Apache) that does not send clear text or uuencoded
passwords over the network.

Thanks
