Hi everyone,

I encountered today an unexpected behaviour of Firefox today. When I
receive this kind of http Digest challenge :

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
[...]
WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="X.X.X.X",
nonce="jDtaVwL2Yn41zxAefxOtRZ6FoLB2bAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=", qop="auth-int",
algorithm=AKAv1-MD5

Firefox hangs and does not respond to the challenge correctly. I don't
see the usual pop-up asking for a username/password when it receives a
Http Digest challenge, and apparently the usual code handling Http
Digest challenge in Firefox is not called (component "@mozilla.org/
network/http-authenticator;1?scheme=digest").

Firefox works fine with other Http Digest challenge, so I suspect
(since it's the only visible difference) that's because of the
parameter algorithm=AKAv1-MD5. So I've investigated to see how RFC3310
(dealing with Http Digest AKA) was supposed to be handled by browsers.

I didn't find any clue about Firefox supposed behaviour when receiving
such a Digest challenge... Could anyone give me any lead/clue/
information please ?

Thank you,
Best regards,
