(HTTP) Enables HTTP Digest authentication. This is a authentication that

prevents the password from being sent over the wire in clear text. Use this in

combination with the normal -u/--user option to set user name and

combination with the normal \fI-u/--user\fP option to set user name and

password. See also \fI--ntlm\fP, \fI--negotiate\fP and \fI--anyauth\fP for

related options. (Added in curl 7.10.6)
