Feature request: add support for Digest authentication for scrape targets

[Tailzip]

Proposal

Add support for Digest authentification (in addition to already existing Basic authentication) for scrape targets.

Transferring to the appropriate repo.

I'm not familiar with Digest authentication, but given that it's not included in the Go standard http library, I think it might be too niche to support.

Indeed. Digest requires an extra roundtrip and does not bring added value. If you want to secure the authorization please use basic auth with tls.

Would love to have digest auth support, because wanting to scrape targets that only support such.
