Re: [squid-users] squid + pam_auth + ssl

Thanks for the reply Henrik!

There is already some howto or documentation on how
to setup Digest Auth, and with informations about
the browsers which supports it?

Do someone also knows an rfc or something similar
which describes how digest auth works?

Thanks in advance to you all!
