THETA V Client Mode Test Script using Digest Authentication

theta_client_mode.py

"""
Test for THETA V client mode. Your workstation and the THETA V need to be 
connected to the same WiFi router.
This test script uses Python modules requests and pprint.
To install requests and pprint
  
      $ pip install requests
      $ pip install pprint

Once connected with WiFi, use the API here:
https://developers.theta360.com/en/docs/v2.1/api_reference/getting_started.html

The IP address is hardcoded in these tests. To get the IP address, I 
am using a separate program that finds the IP of the THETA with NSD
