Hi Frederick, thanks for the updated patch.

I didn't see any functional issues with this patch, but I had some 
trouble testing this out - can I ask how to test it? My problem was 
simply that I didn't know of a http-only server with this authentication 
method. I ask because the last commit to the development repository was 
in 2013.

Below is some minor points about the patch. If you are happy with them 
and we are confident in the testing then I'll push with these changes. 
Do not worry about sending an updated patch.

I changed the commit message to the following as conventional:

gnu: Add ruby-net-http-digest-auth.

* gnu/packages/ruby.scm (ruby-net-http-digest-auth): New variable.

This should be a native-input.

In general we make a habit of keeping this all on one line. How about this?

     (synopsis "RFC 2617 HTTP digest authentication library")

My science-based bias against personal pronouns perhaps, how does this 
sound?

     (description
      "This library implements HTTP's digest authentication scheme based on
RFC 2617.  This enables the use of the digest authentication scheme instead
of the more insecure basic authentication scheme.")

Best to keep that on one line.

Well, I added the package since it is a dependency of the ruby gem
mechanize, which is what I really wanted to add.

Mechanize is used to simplify interaction with websites, and thus,
might encounter sites that require Digest Authentication, even if they
are not necessarily public facing

The points are okay with me. I'm new to the packaging world, so I'm
still learning. Thanks for the pointers

That is better than what I had.

OK, I made a WEBrick-based server to test, and all seemed fine. Pushed 
as '6689c636d039ce5bf160c1858b99f4329427fd15'.

Thanks for the patch,
