Folks, I added partial support for NTLM authentication to the SVN trunk. The NTLM will not work out of the box, though. The users will have to provide a concrete implementation of the interface below by themselves in order to get NTLM working:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/trunk/module-client/src/main/java/org/apache/http/impl/auth/NTLMEngine.java I also put together a document that explains why we cannot support NTLM out of the box and how to build an implementation of the NTLMEngine based on the JCIFS library http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/trunk/NTLM_SUPPORT.txt Please review and let me know what you think. I would also really appreciate if someone who speaks English natively could proof-read my Ruslish. I personally think this is as good as it gets given the legal constraints. This still enables us to accept the code developed by Cathy and simply plug it in at a later stage provided the legal aspects of shipping a full-blown NTLM engine implementation can be worked out to the satisfaction of ASF lawyers. If I hear no complaints I'll also put the NTLM support document on the project web site and move NTLM FAQ from Wiki.
