HTTP does not use SASL as a framing layer.

You want to read RFC 2617 which explains what goes into the headers at
each step, and implement based on that.  There are definite similarities
between HTTP Digest Authentication and DIGEST-MD5 as used in SASL, but a
SASL library won't typically help with HTTP.

You might try using libcurl instead?
