I apologize to those of you to whom this request is inappropriate, but
I'm stumped. I'm having a truly terrible time trying to determine what
the real algorithm is for basic authentication. The 1.0 draft says uuencoded,
the Cern pages refer me to 1421, but when I try these approaches the output
doesn't match the encoding created by current browsers. I know I'm
missing something really basic. If someone with more knowledge and a
clearer head would throw me some pointers I'd really appreciate it.
