My proposal is to switch back to form based-login instead. We initially
switched to digest authentication because we did not use SSL, which
meant that passwords were transferred plain-text over the wire. Now that
we do require SSL for our services, there is no compelling reason to
stick with it.


I believe the other reason for switching was that a login page that
takes you away from the page you're interested in (like on haiku-os.org)
completely sucks.
The way it works now -- i.e. getting back to the page on which "Login" was clicked -- is fine. That it is to say it was fine a few days ago. ATM logging it is no longer possible for me. Clicking "Login" just reloads the page instead of taking me to the login page. 

CU, Ingo
