---------------------------------------

I am not following how BASIC could ever be better than DIGEST, capture a single network packet from Basic authentication and you have the plain text password - same for Form authentication.

> Many clients have security requirements that disallow HTTP Basic authentication. HTTP Digest is also disallowed due to the requirement to store plaintext passwords on the server. HTTP Form based authentication would provide a much smoother experience for users and comply with client requirements.
