   1. Create a string of the form "username:realm:password". Call this
   string X.
   2. Compute the 16 octet MD5 hash of X. Call the result Y.
   3. etc etc...

im stuck on number two. according to another post i read, i either

1) should not use md5 at all or else
2) hex encode, then convert to 16 octet

id like a clarification of this, and if possible a solution i could
implement (php if possible). any help would be much appreciated!
