My question is this:

How can I enable digest auth for my connections? I can see lots of
useful looking methods in Open Transport, and somewhere in the docs it
seemed to say that CFSocket and friends were built on top of OT, so
you could drop down into that for lower level control.

I'm guessing that what I need to get is a way to get hold of, or
influence, the underlying SSLContext, but all I can see in CFNetwork
is the CFReadStreamSetProperty stuff.

If I am stuck with the CFNetwork level stuff, is there any good way
for me to handle the auth? In a pinch, I could implement some kind of
challenge response based on the shared secret, but this seems kind of
crazy and error-prone.
