funnily enough I ran over the same problem about a year ago,
implemented my own HMAC/CRAM-MD5 stuff only to discover that it's
already built into REBOL. motivated by this discovery I wrote a
message <[1186563013--20030725192644--gmx--net]> to stop others from making
the same mistake ;)
amongst the ramblings I also suggested the following function:
cram-md5: func [ username challenge key ] [
reform [
username
lowercase
enbase/base
checksum/method/key challenge 'md5 key
16
]
]
