I have been working on  Digest authentication support for
Ncat http proxy server (Currently Ncat http proxy server
supports only "Basic" scheme for authentication).
I completed this and did some testing using the firefox
and opera browsers as clients.It needs more testing and
if you are interested, here is how you can test it out:

1.) Check out the branch:
svn co --username guest --password "" svn://
svn.insecure.org/nmap-exp/venkat/nmap-digest

2.) Run Ncat:
cd ncat
./ncat -l 3128 --proxy-type http --proxy-auth username:password -vvv

3.) Add proxy details in your browser:
     localhost:3128

I tried it Venkat, and it works for me with a web browser. I was
impressed that it supports both Basic and Digest at the same time, as I
was able to browse with two browsers at once, one using each method.
