Hello Pid :)

Time is relative to environment I guess...so how old is old for you? I
downloaded the jar file from MySQL's site about the middle of 2010 and the
jar file structures the class under org/gjt/mm/mysql.

As regards the encoding - right you are and wrong it is. I was misled by a
posting on stackoverflow.com.

The real problem lies in the fact that Tomcat does not specify any digest
algorithm in the www-authenticate header of HTTP/1.1, which leads the
browser to digest the password using MD5, regardless of the value of the
digest attribute in the <Realm> tag.

Cheers,

Etienne

Are you really using such an old driver - I've got an internet
archaeologist friend who'll want to look at this...

What version of Tomcat/JVM do you have?

That's not a valid value.  The encoding, if I read the source correctly,
should be UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 or something similar.
