java.net.http.HttpClient do NOT support Digest authentication while HttpURLConnection do

[Farkas Levente]

Hi,

Even though many tutorial said that the new java.net.http.HttpClient
support Digest authentication it's not true:
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/java.net.http/share/classes/jdk/internal/net/http/AuthenticationFilter.java#L278
But at the same time HttpURLConnection support it through the simple:
-------------------------------
Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {
    @Override
    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {

        return new PasswordAuthentication (
            "username",
            "password".toCharArray()
        );
    }
});
-------------------------------
Is it a bug or you don't even plan to support it with HttpClient?
Regards.
