Research direction

The issue names HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth and DigestAuthentication but gives no reproduction steps or test file. Start by tracing these entry points in Python's HTTP library and checking existing authentication tests. Done means prior-auth credentials work with DigestAuthentication and the behavior is covered by a focused test.
