Pass a long set to a non-zero value to enable HTTP Digest authentication.
Digest authentication is defined in RFC2617 and is a somewhat more secure way

.B CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH
Pass a long set to one of the curl_httpauth values, to tell libcurl what
authentication method you want it to use. Set the actual name and password
