Support HTTP Digest Authentication in HTTPie DesktopΒ #262

Description

I'm using HTTPie Desktop version 2025.2.0 on Linux and noticed that the Desktop application
does not support HTTP Digest authentication, while the HTTPie CLI does.

According to the Desktop documentation, only Basic, Bearer token, and API Key authentication
methods are currently available, and there is no option to select Digest auth in the UI.

This becomes a limitation when working with APIs that require HTTP Digest authentication
(e.g. Monero daemon / wallet RPC), where Digest is mandatory and cannot be replaced with Basic.

My questions:

  1. Is HTTP Digest authentication support planned for HTTPie Desktop?
  2. If not, is there a technical or design reason why Digest is not supported in Desktop?

Thank you for the great tool and for clarifying this.
