Digest Auth not starting second request in certain scenarios

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the Issue

The Postman client does not follow up with the second request in Digest Auth scenarios, when the server responds with "digest ......" keyword in header, instead of "Digest .......".

This makes the client remain in the Unauthorized state for each request that comes back with the "digest ..." header set.

The keyword was changed to "Digest" using a Proxy and Postman behaved as usual.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open new request tab
2. Select Digest auth
3. Add username and password
4. Call the API service
5. If the response header is set as "digest ...." the second request does not follow

@paulcristiann,Thank you for reporting this. I can replicate the issue. As per RFC-6617, both the scheme and parameters should be handled in a case-insensitive manner. We are tracking this as a bug and will provide updates on the same thread.
