Logging in using pre-hashed passwords?

Ehlo,

I'd like to know if MySQL has the ability to take passwords as already hashed?

I am developing an application that, for security reasons, acts as a middle man to the database (and other functions). I would like to make it so I can transmit the already hashed password from the client over the network and then submit it as is to the database. The database could be localhost, or it could be remote.

Is it possible or will I need to encrypt the entire conversation?
