Digest authorization doesn't work properly with keep-alive

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start mongoose with keep-alive, and a global passwords file
2. Open Firefox or MSIE and connect with mongoose

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Opera (11.01) and Google Chrome (11.0.696.60) correctly display a pop-up box 
asking for username/password. Firefox (4.0) and IE (7.0) seem to wait forever.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows XP Sp3, Opera 11.01, Google Chrome 11.0, Firefox 4.0, IE 7.

Please provide any additional information below.
The problem is resolved by adding a Connection: keep-alive header to 
send_authorization_request() when keep-alive is used.

I accidentally left keep-alive off when I was trying things out. My suggestion 
earlier to add the Connection header doesn't solve the problem. Adding 
Content-Length: 0 seems to do the trick (or adding a body with the appropriate 
content-length).
