Hi René,

ok let me explain again:

As I'm building EXT:timtab - the Blog thingy - I'm handlind XML-RPC
requests. Every request contains username and password, now I'm trying to
authenticate these users.

I know, but as I get the password via XML-RPC in cleartext I need normal.
I hope some things are more clear now.
