What specific section or headline is this issue about?

No response

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Digest and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Want-Digest HTTP header reference pages are outdated.

RFC9530 is new https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9530:

This document defines HTTP fields that support integrity digests. The Content-Digest field can be used for the integrity of HTTP message content. The Repr-Digest field can be used for the integrity of HTTP representations. Want-Content-Digest and Want-Repr-Digest can be used to indicate a sender's interest and preferences for receiving the respective Integrity fields.

This document obsoletes RFC 3230 and the Digest and Want-Digest HTTP fields.

What did you expect to see?

HTTP header reference docs for:

And probably a supporting guide page, integration into the rest of the HTTP docs, etc.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

Do you have anything more you want to share?

In BCD we removed the obsolete rfc urls already: https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/22263

The following PR adds the missing pages:

It looks like we still need BCD for this, and "a supporting guide page" as you mentioned.
