Research direction

Start by reviewing the configure step for the Erlang MD5 setting and locating the source paths handling cookie and proxy-auth SHA-1 decoding. Then identify how deprecation or removal markers are represented in the source. Done means the three checklist items are addressed and the affected behavior is covered by the project's relevant checks.
