Sigh! OK, so at this point the story is that it’s not possible to support HTTP digest auth in a WebSocket client (without implementing all of RFC2617 by hand), because one setter function in CFHTTPMessage’s API hasn’t been made public. And previous Radars about this, filed as long ago as 2007, have been rejected as “behaves correctly”.
Is there any use in me filing yet another Radar? I’m not happy using Basic auth and exposing users’ passwords when communicating with servers that haven’t yet been able to deploy SSL. :/
(Grumpiness not meant personally of course.)
