Would it be possible to add HTTP Digest Authentication support, a la LiveJournal friends-only feeds? This would be hugely useful and could have much greater security benefits.

Don't worry, you didn't come off rude.
This is a very good feature request. Unfortunately, we have no plans to implement HTTP digest authentication with leech. Do you have any example code of such an implementation or do you know of another module in Drupal that implements HTTP digest authentication? Collecting some resources around HTTP digest on this thread could be a first step to an actual implementation of it.

Do you think that http digest could be a stand alone module that provides a UI plus an API for other modules like Mailman or leech?
