Hi Jude,  
the multipart-decoder node doesn't support digest authentication. To support that I need to rewrite quite some stuff, because I use a rather old npm library under the covers. So that would result in quite some work...  
At the time being the http-request node was not capable of decoding multipart streams.  
So don't know about a short term solution, when you want to do it al inside Node-RED (without third-party tools).
