I have, but it’s been a while and I don’t have a code reference or a camera to test with (our office cameras are Axis, but they’re on a VLAN I can’t reach without much effort).

Try looking up resources for accomplishing digest auth with Java’s HTTP client. The examples will need to be adapted for Jython, but the same general approach will apply.
