in reply to Digest Authentication encoding issue

so what's left?

Throwing your hands up into the air and running out of the room with your hair on fire, hoping to douse it in a bucket of ice water before it explodes like the little spacemen in Mars Attacks!

...on second thought, maybe that won't help.

Sorry I couldn't give a relevant answer. The question is far enough off-topic here that I have nothing to contribute other than a little imagery.

    Here is what i my attempt to do the same thing through a cgi perl script using the Digest::MD5 module
    open FILE, ">>$ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'}/some_path/some_other_path/some_pas +s_file" or die $!; print FILE "webmaster:Δημιουρ&#9 +47;ία Βάσης Δεδ&#95 +9;μένων!:" .Digest::MD5::md5_hex("a +dmin:Δημιουργία &#9 +14;άσης Δεδομέ&#957 +;ων!:this_is_the_pass") ."\n"; close FILE;
    But when it comes to authentication when i enter the credentials apache says there are wrong.
    An encoding issue again? the init.pl file which the above code resides is encoded in 'UTF-8'.

    Please suggest something else than hitting my head on the wall ;)
