Guillaume Jeudy commented on AXIS2-3933: ---------------------------------------- Oleg, I think this is indeed an issue. I'm struggling to use HTTP NTLMv2 authentication. The current commons httpclient 3.1 doesn't support NTLMv2. If Axis2 was not coupled to it I could swap this for httpclient 4.0 which in conjunction with jcifs does support NTLMv2. > Axis2 kernel currently has a direct dependency on Commons HttpClient 3.1 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: AXIS2-3933 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-3933 > Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2) > Issue Type: Wish > Components: kernel > Affects Versions: nightly > Reporter: Oleg Kalnichevski > Attachments: axis2-kernel.patch > > > (1) This seems conceptually wrong to me.
