Old authorization algorithm

Im trying to write a mysql client, without using any already made library (theres no any yet ;) )

Ive did new type of authorization, based on sha1, its algorithm is quite simple
sha1(salt+sah1(sha1(pass)))
but sometimes servers asks for old type of authorization besides the new one (eof marker)


Is there any documentation about it ? Protocol specs dont say anythng about it.
I just need to know, what algorithm it use, or how this algorithm is builded.



Ive read the sources, but its too complicated for me :)
