Digest authentication support in HttpRequest node

Core Development Feature Requests
21

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).

Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it.

Currently I'm using some REST API client software called Insomnia. It has both authentication modes and still I'm figuring out how to request multipart streams. :smiley:

Hopefully, soon we will get that digest authentication mode for the multipart decoder. Its really a useful node. :smiley:

Thanks :smiley:

For completeness, I need to upgrade to use "some" other library. But not sure which one. Other nodes have a related issue.
