I would not be surpriced.. The Digest implementation in MSIE is far from
perfect.
It all works fine in Firefox and Opera, but sadly I have to get it to work
with IE!
Do you have a MS support agreement covering MSIE? If so it may be worth
trying using it..
Known issues with MSIE Digest implementation so far:
- Doesn't implement nonce reuse, causing a lot of redundant traffic
(even more than when using NTLM).
- Fails to handle URLs with spaces in them proper (should encode the
space as %20 in the Digest and everywhere else, but instead uses the space
as-is).
