- <p>The Digest authentication implementation in current Internet

+ <p>The Digest authentication implementation in previous Internet
+ Explorer for Windows versions (5 and 6) had issues, namely that
+ <code>GET</code> requests with a query string were not RFC compliant.
There are a few ways to work around this issue.</p>
<p>
<code>AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack</code> environment variable.
If <code>AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack</code> is set for the
request, Apache will take steps to work around the MSIE bug and
- remove the request URI from the digest comparison. Using this
+ remove the query string from the digest comparison. Using this
method would look similar to the following.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Using Digest Authentication with MSIE:</h3><p><code>
BrowserMatch "MSIE" AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack=On
</code></p></div>
+ <p>This workaround is not necessary for MSIE 7, though enabling it does
+ not cause any compatibility issues or significant overhead.</p>

<p>See the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_setenvif.html#browsermatch">BrowserMatch</a></code>
directive for more details on conditionally setting environment
variables</p>
