Support HTTP digest authentication algorithm SHA-256 as per RFC-7617 #128192
Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
Support SHA-256 digest authentication following RFC7616 - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7616
CPython currently supports MD5 and SHA1 only.
Other possible methods include SHA-256-ness, SHA-512-256 and SHA-512-256-sess which hashlib doesn't currently appear to support out of the box.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
