Yes. Notably, MS Internet Explorer.

Yes. In fact, you can omit  first request/response pair. Daemon can fill out
Authorization header in the very first request, using it's own-chosen cnonce
value. Usually this is a timestamp in hex format, and server checks that the
timestamp is close enough to the current time (crude check that client uses
server-supplied cnonce). But shttpd does not check for that, that is why it
is possible to to whole thing in a single request.
