Category: Extension Modules Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jakob Simon-Gaarde (jsgaarde99) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Digest Authentication not working in all cases Initial Comment: I feel I better report this as a bug, since urllib2's digest authentication handler fails where others succeed. I have been trying to authenticate against an IIS server at Microsoft hosting MapPoint SOAP services. The host requres Digest authentication but urllib2 fails to authenticate with the credentials I have recieved. When I authenticate using firefox the browser I imediately succeed and gain access to a browsable service API. C# dotnet's SOAP client also succeeds in authenticating. Therefore I have made my own conclusion that urllib.HTTPDigestAuthHandler must be doing something wrong. I can provide the authentication credentials needed to test and correct the bug, but this would have to be through an email, so I don't break to many laws. In the attached file is the script I have used to provoke the digest challenge.
