Karl Wright commented on HTTPCLIENT-1266:
-----------------------------------------
The tests require that some methods and classes have protected scope, otherwise
I agree.
Please also remember that I am actively recruiting testers with varied
environments, so there could be subsequent changes as a result of that effort.
I will create new tickets if/when these situations arise.
Once logic has all been confirmed, I am curious whether it might be possible to
include this in a point release of 4.2. But we will address that when
everything is ready.

> 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.
