jan.kollhof, thanks for the report and your work on this ticket!
The format of the client response to a server's digest challenge is detailed in
RFC 2617, section 3.2.2: The Authorization Request Header.
The urllib2.py attachment is unfortunately the whole file and not a diff, but I
think from the transcript in msg74918 that Jan is discussing the format of the
digest-uri header. That field is in turn defined in RFC 2616, section 5.1.2:
Request-URI.
Request-URI = "*" | absoluteURI | abs_path | authority
The absoluteURI form is REQUIRED when the request is being made to a
proxy.
So I believe urllib2 has the correct, RFC-conforming behavior here by sending
the full URI through a proxy, and the issue is with IIS.
Thus, I recommend that we close this ticket as invalid.
