Chris,
I accept your point.
It's too bad the Tomcat "how to" docs don't mention this in a brief
note.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html
I'm not on the tomcat developer group, otherwise I'd fix it.
It's even more disappointing that the books I've seen on the subject
(several) don't mention it either.

You should read the definition of HTTP DIGEST auth. It doesn't just
guess at using MD5, it is defined to use MD5.
