BCrypt nginx vs apache2

Choosing between apache2 and nginx for a good webDAV server, I noticed an error if I included a BCrypted password in the htpasswd file.

Looking further nginx seems to use the password function crypt(), TLDR; OpenSUSE seems to be the only one to support BCrypt on crypt() and thus on nginx.

Here's a C program to test crypt() with MD5, SHA512 & BCrypt:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <crypt.h>

int main(void) {
    char *hashed;
    char *cryptorandsalt[3];
    char *cryptname[3];

    cryptorandsalt[0] = "$1$salthere";
    cryptname[0] = "MD5";
    cryptorandsalt[1] = "$6$salthere";
    cryptname[1] = "SHA512";
    cryptorandsalt[2] = "$2a$salthere";
    cryptname[2] = "bcrypt";

    int i;
    for( i = 0; i < 3; i = i + 1 ){
        hashed = crypt("xyz", cryptorandsalt[i]);
        printf("%s: %s\n", cryptname[i], hashed);
        // puts(hashed);
    }
    return 0;
}
