Patch is simple (one line removed from current urllib2!).  I don't know 
much about http digest authentication, so I can't say anything about 
whether or not this correct; but I have verified that it fixes the 
LiveJournal behavior noted in the patch description (on Linux, under 
current CVS tree).  Moreover the MD5 
algorithm is the default, so this patch merely changes the behavior to be 
more verbose than it is currently -- it shouldn't break any existing actual 
functionality.

Recommend application of patch.
