Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-1354.
-------------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 4.3 Beta2
Generally it should be perfectly OK to enclose HTTP header element parameters
with quote marks. There is also no evidence in the RFC 2617 that algorithm
parameter must not be. But if that helps compatibility with Tomcat, so be it.
Fixed in SVN trunk, but not in 4.2.x branch.

> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.2.5
> Reporter: Mark Thornton
> Fix For: 4.3 Beta2
>
>
> The algorithm field in digest authentication must not be quoted. The current
> version of tomcat shipped with Ubuntu 13.04 insists on this (though future
> versions of tomcat are more relaxed).
> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54060
> see comment 12.
> Httpclient will thus fail to authenticate against tomcat 7.0.33 to 7.0.35,
> but should work against 7.0.36 and later. Note that the fix in tomcat 7.0.36
> is to accommodate clients that are not conforming to the specification.
