[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Fix Basic Digest Auth

[Maxim De Clercq]

*Commit message*
Revert: old http: fix leak on reconnect

Do not reinitialized the auth state machine at every connection because it
breaks digest authentication.

*Explanation*
This patch fixes digest authentication by reverting a leak fix that seems
to have introduced this bug. By reinitializing the auth every connection,
it is not possible to retain information about the digest, which causes the
call to vlc_http_auth_FormatAuthorizationHeader in modules/access/http.c to
default to Basic Authentication, which always causes a 401.
