If the server wants to use Digest Authorization, then LWP::UserAgent
will do the right thing if you have set up the
$ua->get_basic_credentials() method to do what you want (for instance
prompt for a username/password).

With digest authorization the client can't predict what to send in the
Authorization header until the server had told us things.
