I gave some more thought to your concerns about disabling nc checking and I think you're right, it's not a good idea. So I bit the bullet and implemented this PR. It uses a fixed size bitset to track the nc values seen for each nonce and also implements stale=true (issue #24). If an nc is seen that is out of range, we simply treat it as if the nonce expired and use stale=true to avoid the client popping up an authentication dialog. nc values can arrive out of order, if a replay is seen it is detected and auth fails. I have implemented this in my proxy server and it's working great now. LMK if you have any questions.
