XMLHTTP and Digest Authentication

Hi, I'm having some problems with XMLHTTP.open and digest authentication.

I am embedding the user name and password into the XMLHTTP.open function (method, file, async, "UserName", "Password"). The server is Apache. Basically, when I switch to Basic authentication, the script works fine. However, it does not work correctly when I switch authentication to Digest. HTTP status returns an odd number, (5 digits). And it looks like the callback function is never executed.

Anyone have any insights on this?

1) The target page just spits out text. There's no scripting of any kind on the target page. The only sort of server action is .htaccess for authentication.

2) I'm not using POST. I'm using GET. However, that's irrelevant. The error exists either way.
