[FFmpeg-devel] SHA-265 Digest support for latest ONVIF standard - Patch from 2022

[roger rjh.org.uk]

The ONVIF standard has recently added SHA-256 Digest for RTSP Authentication as an alternative to MD5.
 
There is a patch from 2022 on Patchwork (and ffmpeg-devel mailing list post) from Aki Sakurai that I have been using and is working well for me.
       [FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/httpauth: support sha-256 and sha-512-256 https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-September/301616.html
 
SHA-256 was really uncommon in RTSP but now that ONVIF have included SHA-256 digest, it would be good to allow ffmpeg to work.

Are there any barriers to merging this patch please?
 
note - I can test SHA-256 but don't have anything here to test SHA-256-sess, but a code review looks good.
