I'm trying to find some code to enable handling of authentication server side. Previously i have implemented Basic and Digest using a TRtcDataProvider. This is doable, but it's a bit of a hazzle to maintain and keep up to current "standards" or rather praxis (?).

Windows WinHTTP sockets has it built in (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364502). We can use that client side, so my question is; is it a stupid idea to enable server side Rtc to use API authentication? Could it be done?

One would have to "lock" in to the capable socket API, sure.

If not do you have any recommendation for where to be inspired / "borrow" code?

Regards,

I'm not an expert on Authentication, but ... IMO ... unless there is a real need to use a specific Authentication scheme - for example, if your Application has to work with a 3rd-party Application which makes it a requirement - I do NOT really see the need for changing an implementation which already works, just to keep up with someone else's "standards" and/or recommendations.
