New description:
I'm writing a CardDAV-Sync adapter for Android and came across the
following issue when connecting to caldavd:
Android's HTTP implementation can not handle digest authentication when
algorithm is set to "md5" instead of "MD5".
I do not know whether Android is wrong or caldavd.
RFC2617 states:
{{{
algorithm = "algorithm" "=" ( "MD5" | "MD5-sess" | token )
}}}
but does not say anything about case-sensitivity.
I'd like to know your opinion about this. I'm not sure if I can work
around this issue somehow. For the moment my only solution is to advise my
users to change the algorithm to MD5.
Thanks
Marten
