MD5 authentication provides a more - secure password system than Basic authentication, but only - works with supporting browsers. As of this writing (October 2001), - the only major browsers which support digest authentication are - Opera 4.0, - MS Internet - Explorer 5.0 and Amaya. - Therefore, we do not yet recommend using this feature on a large - Internet site. However, for personal and intra-net use, where - browser users can be controlled, it is ideal.
