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

Our (more or less) official position regarding NTLM support can be found here
[1]. JCIFS is recommended simply for practical reasons and we certainly would
welcome improvements to the default implementation. It would great if someone
could look into HTTPCLIENT-1080 and figure out where the default implementation
was lacking compared to JCIFS.

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1266
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1266
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpAuth
> Affects Versions: 4.2.2
> Reporter: Karl Wright
> Fix For: Future
>
>
> At the ManifoldCF project, we've recently encountered two SharePoint servers
> (Windows 2008 Server R2) which seem to be configured in a way that the
> connector cannot authenticate with them using httpcomponents NTLM. It's
> worth noting that cURL succeeds, so the NTLM setup is apparently reasonable.
> Furthermore, the mcf patched version of commons-httpclient also fails in
> exactly the same way, so it looks like a long-standing issue.
> Working through the problem, it appears that the NTLM flags httpclient sends
> are, in some cases, inconsistent with the data we include. I am working on a
> httpclient patch, which I hope to be able to exercise in one of the client
> situations within the next week or two.
> Please see CONNECTORS-572 for details and research results.
