Greetings Ganesh!

I've run into a problem with the HTTP digest authentication where the
server sends a challenge that looks something like,

    ... algorithm=MD5

i.e. without quotes around the MD5. I believe this is correct and
allowed. I've patched the HTTP library to allow this, please find
attached.

Hope this is useful and helpful.

Cheers,
