    Note: NTLMv1 (not v2), and CRAM-MD5 isn't working yet.  Also add  
"Basic".

    Also, SSL. :-)  The only things keeping us from replacing KSSL  
altogether:
1) Database management for certificates, aka "the hard part"
2) Multi-process session handling
3) Site compatibility testing

    With a bit of work we might be able to really start dumping big  
chunks of libkssl though.  The nice thing about Qt's SSL support is  
that it's fairly safe by default.
