Description
Requests seems not to have support for proxies which requires DigestAuth, only BasicAuth.
In this SO post there is an authorization module that implements support for proxies that require DigestAuth, and also allow to connect to HTTPS websites.
requests-toolbet (I don't know whether it is an official project of requests) has a HTTPProxyDigestAuth class, but doesn't allow to connect to HTTPS websites.

Start with the linked Stack Overflow authorization module and requests-toolbelt's HTTPProxyDigestAuth implementation, then inspect how Requests handles proxy authentication and HTTPS connections. Done means proxies requiring DigestAuth work for HTTP and HTTPS destinations, with coverage for the supported authentication flow.
