[Web4lib] sip authentication

[Maurice York]

Hi David,
Do you have a specific reason for wanting to use SIP (I suppose you mean
SIP2, since SIP is fairly dated)? If you are going to build an open source
app, have you looked at using NCIP instead? SIP is a proprietary protocol,
whereas NCIP is an xml-based NISO standard (
http://www.niso.org/committees/committee_at.html). It might be more
appropriate for an open source app, especially given licensing issues
(though I must admit I haven't looked at what the licensing issues might be
with using SIP or SIP2 for this purpose).

-Maurice
