"authentication: digest" with RESTful Binary Sensor causes exception "AttributeError: '_thread._local' object has no attribute 'pos'"

[pnbruckner]

Home Assistant release with the issue:

0.65.6

Last working Home Assistant release (if known):

Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.):

Raspbian Stretch Lite on Raspberry Pi 3B

Component/platform:

https://www.home-assistant.io/components/binary_sensor.rest/

Description of problem:

Using the RESTful Binary Sensor to retrieve status from my Amcrest IP2M-841 camera. This camera requires digest authentication. However, when setting "authentication: digest" in configuration.yaml, the result is an exception.

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and (fill out even if it seems unimportant):

binary_sensor:
  - platform: rest
    resource: http://[IP]:[port]/cgi-bin/alarm.cgi?action=getOutState
    username: [username]
    password: !secret lr_ipc_password
    authentication: digest
    name: LR IPC Motion
    device_class: motion
    value_template: '{{ value.count("1") }}'

Using the Command Line Binary Sensor instead it works just fine using "curl --digest ..."

This issue will be auto-closed because there hasn't been any activity for a few months. Feel free to open a new one if you still experience this problem 👍

Can this be re-opened? It is still an issue and preventing me from using the Scrape sensor in 0.97.2...

Configuration.yaml:

sensor:
  - platform: scrape
    resource: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/statsifcwan.html?Rtabhead=Status
    username: user
    password: !secret password
    authentication: digest
    name: ADSL Upstream Attenuation
    select: 'td'
    index: 71
    value_template: '{{ value.split(" ")[0] }}'
    unit_of_measurement: db

Same here with 0.114.4. Please reopen. The dishwasher needs to authenticate with digest. Basic doesn't work.
