+In the case XrdHttp has been configured, it is important that at least one digest algorithm is supported by HTTP. Otherwise, the server will not start.
+The digest algorithms that are supported by HTTP are presented below:
+
+| Digest algorithm | HTTP digest | Will be base64 encoded |
+|------------------|-------------|------------------------|
+| md5              | md5         | true                   |
+| adler32          | adler32     | false                  |
+| sha1             | sha         | true                   |
+| sha256           | sha-256     | true                   |
+| sha512           | sha-512     | true                   |
+| cksum            | UNIXcksum   | false                  |
+| crc32            | crc32       | false                  |
+| crc32c           | crc32c      | true                   |
+
+Pay attention to configure the digest names according to the "Digest algorithm" column.
