Based on RFC2617 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617), the value of 'qop-options' directive should be quoted with double quotes: qop-options This directive is optional, but is made so only for backward compatibility with RFC 2069 [6]; it SHOULD be used by all implementations compliant with this version of the Digest scheme. If present, it is a quoted string of one or more tokens indicating the "quality of protection" values supported by the server. The value "auth" indicates authentication; the value "auth-int" indicates authentication with integrity protection; see the curl comamnd-line tool also appends these quotes. You can see this by `curl -v --digest --user user:passwd http://example.com/digest-auth`. Unfortunately, some minor server-side implementations seem to be sensitive on this difference.
Requests: HTTP for Humans
=========================

Requests is an Apache2 Licensed HTTP library, written in Python, for human
beings.
Most existing Python modules for sending HTTP requests are extremely
verbose and cumbersome. Python's builtin urllib2 module provides most of
the HTTP capabilities you should need, but the api is thoroughly broken.
It requires an enormous amount of work (even method overrides) to
perform the simplest of tasks.
Things shouldn't be this way. Not in Python.
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> r = requests.get('https://api.github.com', auth=('user', 'pass'))
>>> r.status_code
204
>>> r.headers['content-type']
'application/json'
>>> r.text
...
See `the same code, without Requests <https://gist.github.com/973705>`_.
Requests allow you to send HTTP/1.1 requests. You can add headers, form data,
multipart files, and parameters with simple Python dictionaries, and access the
response data in the same way. It's powered by httplib and `urllib3
<https://github.com/shazow/urllib3>`_, but it does all the hard work and crazy
hacks for you.
