Support Spnego Authentication using Kerberos
--------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1018
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1018
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: HttpAuth
Reporter: Christian Schneider
Many bigger companies use Kerberos Authentication. When used on Webservers this
usually means that the server uses the Spnego Protocoll to negotiate with the
client which authentication to use.
So Httpclient should support the Spnego protocoll together with Kerberos
authentication to authenticate against this class of webservers.
The spring security project with it´s kerberos extension already supports the
spnego and kerberos protocol on the server side. The source code shows how the
authentication is done on the server side and will surely help to implement the
client part.
