IHttpModules, more featurettes, big thanks

This last week, we got a couple of IHttpModules that add Basic and Digest authentication support to our xsp server. Most of the work was done by Sebastien Pouliot, our man on crypto-moon, based on previous code from Greg Reinacker. Thanks, guys!

We were missing browser detection until a few days ago. Our implementation is based on browscap.ini file by Gary J. Keith, who kindly allowed us to use it. Gary said that he may provide ASP.NET style capabilities information in the future, so we may switch to that some time soon.

Jackson is finishing trace support and <customErrors> support just landed in CVS.

Web.config, HTTP authentication, nunitasp

We now have real support for web.config in CVS. Before this, we only loaded machine.config and the web.config file in the application root directory. <location> is also supported.

Digest and Ntlm authentication for HttpWebRequest are also in CVS. Expect some server side modules for them soon.

There's a new toy in xsp, called nunitasp. We'll be adding unit tests for System.Web using it. The best of nunitasp is that it works as an extension for nunit, which is already used for testing our class libraries.
