Features

  • Added preemptive digest authentication to :class:~aiohttp.DigestAuthMiddleware -- by :user:bdraco.

    The middleware now reuses authentication credentials for subsequent requests to the same
    protection space, improving efficiency by avoiding extra authentication round trips.
    This behavior matches how web browsers handle digest authentication and follows
    :rfc:7616#section-3.6.

    Preemptive authentication is enabled by default but can be disabled by passing
    preemptive=False to the middleware constructor.
