Document how to generate htdigest file without Apache

[waldemar.osuch@…]

tracd.README does not explain how to generate htdigest file.

It would be worth describing how to generate htdigest file. Especially for people working on Win32 not familiar with configuring Apache.

I ended up using following from Python prompt:

usr = 'usrname'; realm = 'trac'; passwrd = 'secret'
kd = lambda x: md5.md5(':'.join(x)).hexdigest()
usr = 'usrname'; realm = 'trac'; passwrd = 'secret'
':'.join((usr, realm, kd([usr, realm, passwrd])))
  'usrname:trac:41772e81f3dc44f35efd2de45cf9a4d3'

And pasting the result into htdigest file. Unfortunately I have spent half a day reading tracd source and RFC 2617 trying to understand what is expected. To add insult to injury I have later found out I could have used htdigest if I had Apache installed but that is what I was trying to avoid in the first place.

I have just added a modified version of this code to TracStandalone, so you can probably close this ticket now :-)

Okay, closing since it is now in the documentation.

(setting the milestone as 0.9 as it seems the script was included by that time.)
