Initial commit of cram module.  CRAM implements the CRAM-MD5 algorithm as a Drupal Authentication method, allowing users to login to non-SSL secured sites without fear of their password being sent plaintext over the wire.

2 ------
3 Read the INSTALL.txt file for installation directions.

5 PLEASE note that at the moment, this module is NOT compatible with other
6 authentication modules that you may be using. It will only work for users
7 stored with Drupal's user table.
8
9 ALSO note that merely enabling the module means that the javascript will be
10 active wherever you have a login box displayed. Users will still be able to
11 log in if they have javascript disabled, but of course their password will be
12 sent in the clear. I plan on making the fact that the javascript is running
13 more obvious in the future, along with better controls for visibility.

15 ABOUT
16 -----
17 CRAM is a Drupal module that implements the Challenge-Response
18 Authentication Mechanism for logging in. I developed it because I hated
19 logging into my Drupal installation when I knew my password was being sent
20 clear over the wire. The company hosting my site did not offer SSL (or at
21 least not at a cheap price), so I looked at other options and came up with
22 this.
