Hi Spring Security Team,
first of all: Thanks for your effort and your amazing work!
I recently read through the JavaDoc of BasicAuthenticationFilter
and was a bit irritated by lines 84 to 86 where Digest Auth
was described as a better alternative for Basic Auth
which is certainly a deprecated artifact and conflicts with the warning stated on the official tutorial.
It's not a big deal for readers with basic security knowledge... but maybe unsophisticated project setups can be prevented if deprecated hints like this are removed.
