> a cache that requires an update on each and every operation is probably
not a cache.
I disagree. Caching digest authentication information is useful to avoid
network roundtrips, which are much mostly costly than updating a cache.
Unfortunately, unlike "standard" caching usecases, reusing cached digest
authentication information requires the cache to be updated.
I understand you disagree with me, and that's totally fine. All I'm asking
for it the hooks into httpclient that allow me to add my custom auth cache.
