[webservices] restricted data

[Philip Crotwell]

In the mean time, you can access restricted data with DHI. It would
not be much of an effort to put a thin web services wrapper around the
existing DHI seismogram server and to allow this now.

Revamping restricted data access password sounds like a good idea. Old
system was always a bit weird.

Just my $0.02

We needed a new paradigm in which a users' personal password will give them access to all the data sets they are allowed to access.  At the same time we modernized the internal password management at the DMC.  A message has been drafted explaining the details to those users with restricted data sets, but in short you'll be able to use the same data web services and provide a username and password to get access to your data.  HTTP Digest Authentication will be used, it's standard and well supported by nearly all HTTP clients/toolkits.
