A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Even though all documents said java.net.http.HttpClient support Basic and Digest authentication this is not true! Only basic authentication is supported by HttpClient, BUT at the same time Digest authentication supported by HttpURLConnection support it. It would be useful if the newer propagated http client also support it.
