Michael, So this change adds a net/system property to revert to the old behaviour, which makes sense. And the name is in line with the other http.auth.digest.* properties. I agree with this approach.
Specifically on the changes, just a few comments: 1) delimCompatFlag can be made final, by removing the default false value. 2) The test copyright header needs to be updated. Otherwise it looks ok. -Chris.
