Getting Digest Authentication to Work

I am having difficulty getting digest authentication to work. The
code works if I use basic, but when I switch to digest, the
credentials don't authenticate (i.e. the browser username/password
popup keeps displaying). I have tried to md5 hash the password and
leave it plain text and neither works.

Here's the code that works (basic authentication):

function beforeFilter() {
if ( $this->RequestHandler->isXml() ) {
$this->Auth->allow('index');
$this->Security->loginOptions = array(
'type' => 'basic',
'realm' => 'WebService'
);
$this->Security->loginUsers = array('user' => 'secret');

$this->Security->requireLogin('index');
} else {
parent::beforeFilter();
}
}

And here's the code that doesn't (digest authentication):

function beforeFilter() {
if ( $this->RequestHandler->isXml() ) {
$this->Auth->allow('index');
$this->Security->loginOptions = array(
'type' => 'digest',
'realm' => 'WebService'
);
$this->Security->loginUsers = array('user' => 'secret');
/* $this->Security->loginUsers = array('user' => md5('secret')); */

$this->Security->requireLogin('index');
} else {
parent::beforeFilter();
}
}

What am I still missing?

Note, I'm using CakePHP 1.2.5. Web server is Apache 1.3.41. PHP is
5.2.9.

thanks in advance,
Michael
