... it’s not possible to support HTTP digest auth in a WebSocket client (without implementing all of RFC2617 by hand), because one setter function in CFHTTPMessage’s API hasn’t been made public.

Correct. [Well, we probably wouldn't make that exact routine public, but the functionality of that routine needs to be made public, yes.] On the plus side, implementing Digest is pretty simple; think yourself lucky you're not implementing NTLM (-:

And previous Radars about this, filed as long ago as 2007, have been rejected as “behaves correctly”.

AFAIK the bug for this is still active but I will check to make sure.

Is there any use in me filing yet another Radar?

Absolutely.
