You're right (unless I missed something else);

[2617]
       digest-uri       = "uri" "=" digest-uri-value
       digest-uri-value = request-uri   ; As specified by HTTP/1.1

[2616]
Request-URI    = "*" | absoluteURI | abs_path | authority
                                      ^^^^^^^^
A pity.

Fair enough.

Would it be correct to say that HTTP Digest Auth has this property
alreadly (because A2 includes the digest-uri-value)? There are other
attacks that can be made against Digest, of course (e.g., dictionary
against weak passwords), but it's interesting to think of it as
having anti-phishing properties.

I'm not 100% sure. IIRC, the digest-uri-value is only the
path portion, i.e.,

     /example/example.html

rather than

     http://www.example.com/example/example.html

But I could totally be wrong on this.
