*DAV clients that want Digest Authentication don't work with NextCloud.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like an option to add or switch authentication from Basic to Digest for the *DAV services. Being able to use either is probably a requirement as there might be clients that cannot use Digest.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I don't know of any.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Basic authentication is currently provided for the DAV services and how clients select or negotiate it. Define the compatibility requirements for supporting Digest alongside Basic; done means DAV clients needing Digest work with Nextcloud while existing Basic-only clients continue to work.
