Re: [squid-users] empty basic/digest realm

Sorry for my late reply, Henrik. I want to be able to use an empty
realm because we use Digest Auth in conjunction with an LDAP backend.
In this LDAP backend the admin can specifiy combinations of
<realm>:<password> or <realm>:<H(A1)>. The empty realm would thus lead
to either <password> or <H(A1)> standing by themselves. We want to
support this latter case as well and the empty realm would make that a
lot easier.

Khaled
