-    <p>MD5 authentication provides a more
-    secure password system than Basic authentication, but only
-    works with supporting browsers. As of this writing (October 2001),
-    the only major browsers which support digest authentication are
-    <a href="http://www.opera.com/">Opera 4.0</a>,
-    <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/">MS Internet
-    Explorer 5.0</a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/Amaya/">Amaya</a>.
-    Therefore, we do not yet recommend using this feature on a large
-    Internet site. However, for personal and intra-net use, where
-    browser users can be controlled, it is ideal.</p>

+    authentication are <a href="http://www.opera.com/">Opera</a>, <a
+    href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/">MS Internet
+    Explorer</a> (fails when used with a query string), <a
+    href="http://www.w3.org/Amaya/">Amaya</a> and <a
+    href="http://www.mozilla.org">Mozilla</a>.  Since digest
+    authentication is not as widely implemented as basic
+    authentication, you should use it only in controlled settings.</p>
