You should definitely log a bug in bugzilla for that: Tomcat should be
sending the digest algorithm to the client for DIGEST authentication.

Be sure you use a protocol analyzer to ensure that the WWW-Authenticate
header doesn't contain the digest. Otherwise, you'll waste your time
filing the bug only to have it marked as INVALID.

Also, always test with the most recent version in your version line (you
didn't say which you were using). Current versions are Tomcat 7.0.6,
6.0.30, and 5.5.31:
