----------------------------------------------

Karl

Given that we now have an explicit OK to include NTLM implementations in the 
ASF code (LEGAL-80), I can commit your patch to the project repository. 
However, there is one minor technicality that we need to discuss first. 
HttpClient 3.1 is effectively EOL and is not planned to have any official 
releases any more. So, the patch needs to be ported to the 4.x API. Would you 
have time and inclination to work on the port or is that something I would have 
to do myself?

> 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.
