Folks, I finally resolved a looooong standing problem with HttpClient not taking into account the user context when pooling / re-using connections. HttpClient should now be able to correctly handle stateful / user specific connections such as persistent NTLM connections and SSL connections with client side authentication.
As far as I can tell that was the very last fundamental architectural problem inherited from HttpClient 1.x / 2.x / 3.x days. All big stuff is now done. Instructions how to enable NTLM in HttpClient 4.0 can be found here http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/ntlm.html Go ahead and try it out. Please do feel free to review / amend NTLM guide.
