Consumir API com Digest Auth

Dae galera, trabalho com ColdFusion e recentemente preciso fazer uma integração com uma API. Contudo, preciso que ela seja em Java, de acordo com as necessidades do nosso sistema.

Tenho a seguinte URI
curl -k --digest -u usuario:senha https://api.uni5.net/cliente

Vi alguns tópicos muito bons mas mesmo assim não consegui chegar ao resultado final porque um exemplo usa Post, e outro que usa GET parece não encontrar a URL passando a porta no final da URL

}

Alguém sabe uma maneira simples de fazer, sem utilizar muita dependência.
Estou usando hoje somente httpclient e dependências.

&lt;dependency&gt;
	&lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.httpcomponents&lt;/groupId&gt;
	&lt;artifactId&gt;httpclient&lt;/artifactId&gt;
	&lt;version&gt;4.3.1&lt;/version&gt;	
&lt;/dependency&gt;

Obrigado!
