[josm-dev] shocking - unsecure password sending!

Hi everbody

just wondering whether the OSM API already supports digest authentication.
If JOSM wanted to use it, could we already work on it or would we have to
wait for the servers to support it?

Regards
Karl

Will this be incorporated in some future version of JOSM?
