Description

When a authentication type of DIGEST mentioned in RFC7235 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7235 is provided in OpenAPI Specification (supported as mentioned at https://swagger.io/docs/specification/authentication/ ) it is not compiled to RESTler grammar and the REST APIs are fuzzed without the mentioned authentication. Is the Digest authentication supported by RESTler Fuzzer?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how RESTler currently handles authentication (e.g., basic, bearer) and extend the grammar to support digest authentication. Look at the authentication module in the codebase (likely in RESTler/compiler/ or similar). Understand RFC7235 and the OpenAPI specification for digest auth. Implement parser changes and add tests.
