Bug #73
closedhttpassword, textdrive and blowfish
Description
trying to get htpasswd basic auth going on TextDrive webhost, who uses blowfish for crypt(), which borks lighttpd's checking of the passwords. not sure if that means lighttpd has to be updated or not, but posting here all the same. here's my original forum thread for the issue at TxD:

I'm having the same problem. My FreeBSD server is configured to used Blowfish encryption for password... So the Crypt function generates blf passwords.

Looking threw src/http_auth.c , it looks like crypt is only using a 2 character salt. For md5 at least to work in crypt , we need at least a 12 character salt. For blowfish it is 16 characters.

Attached is patch which makes md5 for crypt work , however standard des stops working afterwards.
There is probally some better way of doing this?? However this patch works for me.
