[ruby-core:120442] [Ruby master Bug#20985] Undefined constant in net/http

Issue #20985 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).

Description updated

This constant was introduced in commit:ae2c8b45d2c345faea6a7f2203603b4862f3a66c, but has never existed then or since.
Although we cannot guess the author's intention, the `rescue` clause looks able to be removed safely.

Could you report it to the upstream, https://github.com/ruby/net-http?

```console
$ grep -rnH HTTPAuthenticationError /usr/local/lib/ruby
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/3.3/rubygems/vendor/net-http/lib/net/http.rb:2455:      raise HTTPAuthenticationError.new('HTTP authentication failed', err)
/usr/local/lib/ruby/3.3/net/http.rb:2455:      raise HTTPAuthenticationError.new('HTTP authentication failed', err)
/usr/local/lib/ruby/3.3/rubygems/vendor/net-http/lib/net/http.rb:2455:      raise HTTPAuthenticationError.new('HTTP authentication failed', err)

$ ruby -r net/http -e 'HTTPAuthenticationError'
-e:1:in `<main>': uninitialized constant HTTPAuthenticationError (NameError)

HTTPAuthenticationError
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```

The `raise` statement will just transform a meaningful error into a `NameError`.
