What do you mean by a "manual" request? Can you generate complete trace logs
(the equivalent of --verbose or --trace) for both the successful and
unsuccessful cases? Can you show us source code for your code that is
generating the requests? There are many reasons why a request might not
succeed, so without showing us more details it's hard to tell why.

Note that Digest authentication performs a cryptographic challenge-response
handshake so you can't easily generate the right headers manually. This also
means that there will be at minimum two requests to authenticate, the first
returning 401, before the right Authorization header can be sent to
authenticate the client. So, the first trace you showed (that you define as
"failed") might very well be a valid and correct first transaction.
