Hello everyone I have been using digest authentication for some time now but recently i got a new pocket pc but the problem is that pocket IE doesnt support digest authentication is there a way to change fro digest to basic depending on the user-agent. Help me please Rolling Eyes

Don't think thats possible...
its not only Pocket IE that has problems some other clients aswel.

You could probebly creata and alias though

/private
/private_basic

and use a location container for the auth information instead of directory container

Note untested config snip:
Code:

Alias /private_basic "c:/files/private"

<location /private_basic>
auth code here with basic auth
</location>

<location /private>
auth code for digest here
</location>


you could probebly do some mod_rewrite stuff to rewrite to the /private_basic URI when its PocketIE

If that didn't make sense... don't worry i'm just brainstorming ^
