In qp-2.0, auth using digest is failing when using IE7. IE7
(apparently unlike other browsers) has no whitespace between name/
value pairs of the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION header which makes it
unparseable by DurusPublisher.ensure_signed_in_using_digest. The
following is a patch that corrects for it (and hopefully doesn't
break anything else...).
