Description

With configuration:

server.modules += ( "mod_auth" )
auth.backend = "htdigest"
auth.backend.htdigest.userfile = "/etc/lighttpd/htdigest"
...
"require" => "valid-user"

A user with a space in their username is rejected as not valid.

This appears to be a regression, we observed it after upgrading to 1.4.26. We copied the htdigest file from the old configuration directory. Users without spaces in their names were able to log in, but users with spaces in their names were rejected.

I think we are pretty RFC compliant: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2069/rfc2069
