[New-bugs-announce] [issue42833] Lib/urllib/request.py: digest algorithm should be case insensitive

[Pierre Tardy]

New submission from Pierre Tardy <tardyp at gmail.com>:

original bug report: https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/issues/5743

Twisted by default advertises its algorithm in lowercase, which is uncommon, but allowed by the spec.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3230#section-4.1.1


python's request.py is only supporting MD5 or SHA as algorithm, and not lowercase equivalent.

This is an easy and harmless fix.
