Jandalf (and middle earth creatures of all kinds), We use HttpClient and NTLM on 1.3.1 quite heavily (I developed the NTML stuff on 1.3.1 actually).
I did the following: On 1.3.1 run maven test (I haven't done an update in quite a while) and all tests pass. Perform cvs update On 1.4.1 run maven test and all tests pass, On 1.3.1 I get 2 tests fail with DES Encryption not available errors. So I rolled back to httpclient source as at 1 Jan 2003 and the tests pass on 1.3.1 again. Rolling forward from there I find that the tests pass on 4 Jan 2003 and fail on 5 Jan 2003. The change to the project.xml file is quite likely to be the culprit. :) Essentially prior to 5 Jan no JSSE dependency was declared to Maven so you had to have JSSE on your classpath somewhere and it would then be used. On Jan 5 a dependency was added so that maven put JSSE on the classpath but it didn't include the apparently crucial US_export-policy.jar file (probably due to legal reasons) and so DES encryption wasn't available (by default it's restricted I guess). Supporting this theory is the fact that when I comment out those dependencies the tests pass again. When running on JDK 1.4 this won't turn up because the JSSE that comes with 1.4 is on the blessed classpath and takes precedence over anything maven puts there. Someone with better knowledge of the maven repository, JSSE and export regulations will have to help out here to actually fix the problem. You can rest assured that NTLM is working correctly with the latest code and that the tests do pass if you comment out the dependencies. My remaining concern is that Jandalf said that he wasn't getting that exception but a different one which I can't reproduce. Jandalf, would you mind posting the actual error report you get please (apologies if I missed it)?

You are in Russia right? Are you stuck with a encryption castrated version of the jdk due to foolish export laws? This is definately a different issue than I reported which was 1.3.1 specific.
