When trying to use feedparser.py to deal with RSS feeds
from livejournal.com using digest auth (needed to
access locked posts), urllib2 would report a digest
auth failure.  The solution appears to be to always
specify the algorithm, even when it's MD5.

There's no uploaded file!  You have to check the
checkbox labeled "Check to Upload & Attach File"
when you upload a file. In addition, even if you
*did* check this checkbox, a bug in SourceForge
prevents attaching a file when *creating* an issue.

Please try again.

(This is a SourceForge annoyance that we can do
nothing about. :-( )

Patch appears correct, and RFC 2617 allows always sending
the algorithm.  Haven't tested the patch, or verified that
real browsers do indeed always send algorithm even when it'd
MD5.
