I've finally added basic Negotiate (Kerberos) support to libsoup. Git is available here. Using:
git clone http://git.debian.org/?p=users/agx/libsoup.git;a=summary
./autogen.sh
make
# for nautilus:
killall gvfsd
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libsoup/.libs/ gvfsd
# epiphany:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libsoup/.libs/ epiphany
# totem:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libsoup/.libs/ totem
you can protect your music, files, whatever on a webserver using mod_auth_kerb and access them without storing a passwort just using your Kerberos ticket. Would be nice to get this merged #587145.
