Karl Wright commented on HTTPCLIENT-919:
----------------------------------------
Please see comments regarding this issue I've attached to httpclient-917.
If we conclude that patents will be violated, I will indeed remove all NTLM
implementations from LCF, which would include even the upstream patch to
httpclient-3.1 that was granted. However, the consequences are severe to the
functionality of that component that we'd want to verify this.
An NTLM implementation is also available for the Google connector framework, by
the way, for what it is worth.
> NTLM implementation lacks support for NTLMv1, NTLMv2, and NTLM2 Session forms
> of NTLM

>
> The current HttpClient implementation lacks support for all enhancements to
> NTLM after Windows 95. That includes NTLMv1, NTLMv2, and NTLM2 Session
> Response varieties of the protocol.
> This seriously impacts the usability of HttpClient in enterprise situations,
> which has required the Lucene Connector Framework team to extend HttpClient
> to address the issue.
> I've attached a patch which contains the implementation used by LCF.
