The reason is that the code written to support NTLM comes from when wget only supported OpenSSL, and hadn't been updated. Further, GnuTLS didn't provide certain cryptographic functions required for NTLM, that OpenSSL does provide. However, someone pointed out that GnuTLS depends on another library that _does_ provide these functions, and so a patch was recently created to support NTLM with GnuTLS. The upstream thread on this topic starts at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2013-07/msg00043.html The proposed patch on that thread has since been pushed to git. Here's the main fix: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/wget.git/commit/?id=c19d76c02483f070beb688d6fe6f5fafb5674a08 And here's an additional related change, fixing OpenSSL builds that were broken by that patch (probably won't apply cleanly atop the previous one, would need to fix up the changelogs, or else additionally apply the unrelated single git changeset that was introduced between these two: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/wget.git/commit/?id=ffb94036f2116649a8de1a930820056aea9cb65f HTH, -mjc
