Hello,

it't been a while since I worked with external scripts, but you can exec
external scripts. See:
http://www.kamailio.net/docs/modules/4.3.x/modules/exec.html

The documentation says, you can access header fields of the packet via
environment variables. So you can get the WWW-Authorize header into your
script, extract the needed fields and send them to the API. The API then
should be able to calculate the response again according to the Digest
Authentication rules with the supplied information and the plain password.

Best Regards,
Sebastian
