I am integrating digest authentication and am seeing “entity-body” in the document below (for auth-int authentication)? Is this the HTML header and body? Or is it just the HTML header portion?
http://freeradius.org/rfc/rfc4590.html
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2069
“Entity” is an HTTP concept here. The HTTP 1.1 glossary defines it as “The information transferred as the payload of a request or response. An entity consists of metainformation in the form of entity-header fields and content in the form of an entity-body, as described in section 7.”
Thus, the entity body consists, for example, an entire HTML document, from the document type declaration (if present) down to the end tag
</html>. The entity headers are HTTP headers, outside the HTML document.
