I've written a httpd for an embedded system. The httpd
implements the digest authentication. I have tested the
authentication with Mozilla and Navigator 7.1 browers on
Red Hat 8 and it works fine. But it fails with IE 6 and
Navigator 7.1 on win98. I discovered that the request
header were truncated in both IE6 and Nav. 7.1 in win98.
Does anyone know whether the internet explorer or the OS
impost a size limit for the HTTP request header size?
If it does, how do I work around this size limit since
authorization header for digest authentication is quite
lengthy?
