  65.     <p>Using MD5 Digest authentication is very simple. Simply set
  66.     up authentication normally, using <code>AuthType Digest</code> and
  67.     <code class="directive"><a href="#authdigestfile">AuthDigestFile</a></code> instead
  68.     of the normal <code>AuthType Basic</code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth.html#authuserfile">AuthUserFile</a></code>; also, replace any <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth.html#authgroupfile">AuthGroupFile</a></code> with <code class="directive"><a href="#authdigestgroupfile">AuthDigestGroupFile</a></code>. Then add a
  69.     <code class="directive"><a href="#authdigestdomain">AuthDigestDomain</a></code> directive
  70.     containing at least the root URI(s) for this protection space.</p>
  71.  
  72.     <p>Appropriate user (text) files can be created using the
  73.     <a href="../programs/htdigest.html">htdigest</a> tool.</p>

  88.     <p>Digest authentication provides a more secure password system
  89.     than Basic authentication, but only works with supporting
  90.     browsers. As of November 2002, the major browsers that support digest
  91.     authentication are <a href="http://www.opera.com/">Opera</a>, <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/">MS Internet
  92.     Explorer</a> (fails when used with a query string - see "<a href="#msie">Working with MS Internet Explorer</a>" below for a workaround), <a href="http://www.w3.org/Amaya/">Amaya</a>, <a href="http://www.mozilla.org">Mozilla</a> and <a href="http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/download.jsp">Netscape</a> since version 7. Since digest authentication is not
  93.     as widely implemented as basic authentication, you should use it only
  94.     in controlled environments.</p>

  98. <h2><a name="msie" id="msie">Working with MS Internet Explorer</a></h2>
  99.     <p>The Digest authentication implementation in current Internet
  100.     Explorer implementations has known issues, namely that <code>GET</code>
  101.     requests with a query string are not RFC compliant.  There are a
  102.     few ways to work around this issue.</p>
  103.  
  104.     <p>
  105.     The first way is to use <code>POST</code> requests instead of
  106.     <code>GET</code> requests to pass data to your program.  This method
  107.     is the simplest approach if your application can work with this
  108.     limitation.
  109.     </p>
  110.  
  111.     <p>Since version 2.0.51 Apache also provides a workaround in the
  112.     <code>AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack</code> environment variable.
  113.     If <code>AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack</code> is set for the
  114.     request, Apache will take steps to work around the MSIE bug and
  115.     remove the request URI from the digest comparison.  Using this
  116.     method would look similar to the following.</p>
