Description:
------------
Using the SoapClient class to talk to SOAP services provided by MSSQL server configured with Digest authorization fails if the server specifies that the MD5-sess algorithm be used

Reproduce code:
---------------
// reproduction requires an MSSQL server configured with 
// SOAP services and protected with Digest authorization
// Prior to testing, verify the Digest support by making a
// a request with a third party tool like cURL

$options=array(
'trace'      => 1,					
'authentication' => SOAP_AUTHENTICATION_DIGEST,
'login'=> $user, 
'password'=>$pass
);
  			
$client = new SoapClient($wsdlfile, $options);  
			
$client->Foo(); 

Expected result:
----------------
Expect SOAP call 'Foo' to succeed

Actual result:
--------------
SoapFault exception is thrown with the message "Unauthorized"

$client->__getLastRequestHeaders() returns

POST /ept/cv HTTP/1.1
Host: 168.143.179.36
Connection: Keep-Alive

$client->__getLastResponseHeaders() returns this:

The problem occurs because the Authorization header returned by the SOAP module does not include the algorithm="MD5-sess" value, even though the server has specified this algorithm and the module has obeyed by applying a second hashing round to the HA1 value.

The fix is simply to add an algorithm="xyz" value to the Authorization. 

I have verified that this fix works by writng a PHP-based simulation of what the C source code is doing. When the Authorize header is fixed, it works normally. This demonstration is here: http://pastebin.com/f7996ccbe

You can see around lne 507 of ext/soap/php_http.c the code applies the extra hashing step required for MD5-sess, but further down, around line 606, it should be adding the algorithm="foo" value to the Authorization response header.

Because it fails to do this, MS SQL server fails to authenticate the request.

Here's a patch which can be applied in /ext/soap to fix the php_http.c file for this issue

http://files.dixo.net/php_bug_46386.patch

It simply ensures the request header containing the authorization response uses the same algorithm value as contained in the server's response.
