Contrib code that depends on the HttpClient 3.1 binary is my preference. I'd be interested in looking into jCIFS, but will have no spare cycles for it. It would be good to have some NTLM code to get HTTPCLIENT-652 right, but we could also work that out with dummy state or SSL client authentication. If there is a lot of interest in NTLM support from the community, there should also be volunteers. The reason why I want to defer this discussion beyond alpha3 is that I will not have cycles left for HTTPCLIENT-652 either, and that seems to be a prerequisite for NTLM support. cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
