If recent browsers are supporting digest authentication, I will try to support it in Pegasus. By the way, I don't think digest authentication is useful in case we want to protect some web contents from local users or other person's CGI. Look http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/pegasus/eman-2.0/ http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/pegasus/eman-2.1/ for the solution.
