Right, I had to touch existing realm code as well, since current realms rely
on the ability to extract the password from the request - which is not
possible with DIGEST (since that's the whole point of it). In effect, I
rewamped realms to

if(ctx != null && "DIGEST".equals(ctx.getAuthMethod()))
{
   ... new code
}
else
{
   ... old code
}
