Authentication (General questions)

Hello,
I'm experimenting with different solutions for user authentication with the WebServer ActiveX component. In my case I wish to protect the user data (username/password).

According to the documentation it seams like digest authentication is not supported. I know that HTTPS/SSL is supported but then the whole site will be encrypted, including all graphics. I believe this will reduce performance.

It would be nice to use the standard HTTP protocol but still have possibility to encrypt the sensitive information such as username and password.

Any comments or sugestions are appreciated.

Regards,
Michael from Sweden
