12,731 PointsDigest Authentication for Android
Does anyone have some example code or some great links to docs/info dealing with digest authentication for Android?
It looks as though HttpURLConnection doesn't support digest and/or is currently bugged. This is how I've been establishing connections to my web services so far and I'm a little thrown by some of the Apache HTTP workarounds that I've found. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

12,731 PointsThanks for the reply Ben. There seems to be a bug with that class and for some reason anything other than basic authentication doesn't work, even though it should.
