Currently it's 1 << 31 (2147483648), which is greater than the biggest 32 bit signed int. I'm asking that because javascript will cast all of its double values into signed 32-bit integers to do the bitwise operation, causing given value to overflow to -2147483648.

However, in the node.js binding I'm working on, it seems to work even with the overflow, for example:

Setting HTTPAUTH to DIGEST | ONLY, which value is going to be -2147483644, works as expected, it tries to authenticate using only DIGEST.

So, can someone explain what is going on to me?
