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

I committed the following change set to the 4.2.x branch that should address 
the immediate problem and fix the NPE. 

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1406998

However, it looks like the default NTLMEngine implementation expects both the 
hostname and the domain to be non-null. When using a local account try using 
the name of the host as both hostname and domain and let me know if that fixes 
the problem.

PS: I wish we could simply bundle JCIFS with HttpClient and throw away our own 
implementation.

> Authenticating to a windows PC using a local account (administrator) fails. 
> In this case, the domain property should be NULL.
> Setting domain=null fails with a nullpointerexception
> Setting domain="" fails with a wrong username/password
> JCIFS does not have this issue and can be used as a workaround
