[Freeswitch-users] Registering with digest authentication, but empty password. How?

[Bob Hartwig]

Agreed.  I told you it was a weird problem - digest auth with an empty
password really doesn't make much sense, especially over the Internet.
 I'll let them know that we either need a real password, or to use IP auth.

    Thanks,
    Bob Hartwig
