I am working on a SecureLayer implementation for QCA that does general HTTP 
authentication (I'm planning to do at least Basic, Digest auth, Digest 
auth-int and something for NTLM/Kerberos, but probably not initially). The 
interface I've been thinking is something that sits between the application 
and QHttp. I'm not sure how this fits with the design plans for KIO  in KDE4 
though. Any suggestions?
