@DD:

1) Will be fixed in the next release
2) I cannot replicate this, steps I tried:
- Right click add book, select add empty book
- Start content server
- In browser a generated cover is displayed with title and author
3)
a) Not sure what's going on with that, I'll have to look into it
b) Not sure what you mean by that?
c) This is deliberately not done so as not to leak information about the host computers filesystem

4) Cant be done because HTTP Digest Auth requires the server to have access to the unhashed password. Besides if somebody has access to the server computer, then they can do anything they want including changing the stored passwords/descrambling them (in case of encrypted but not hashed passwords), etc.

5) Cant be done, HTTP Auth does not support logging out, and the server has to use HTTP auth, because it has to work with non browser clients such as OPDS software.
